The subjects of Bentivegna 4 sent on February 26, 2015 (16:18) by Agata Arezzo. 9 comments, 633 views.

1/500 f/5.6, ISO 800, hand held.

In Sicilia, ai piedi del monte Kronio a pochi km da Sciacca, sorge il "Castello incantato", uno spettacolo creato dall'inventiva dell'uomo e della natura, dove, oltre agli ulivi, ai mandorli e ai carrubi sorgono le teste scavate e scalpellate nella roccia e nei tronchi d'albero da Filippo Bentivegna, un artista contadino detto "Filippu di li testi" e vissuto dal 1888 al 1967. Bentivegna nacque a Sciacca da una famiglia molto povera, non trovando lavoro, come molti siciliani di quel periodo andò a lavorare negli Stati Uniti, ritornato a Sciacca in seguito ad una disavventura, comprò questo piccolo podere dove visse dipingendo e scalpellando gli alberi e i massi,le sue sculture rappresentano personaggi famosi e non,a cui dava anche un nome e che nella sua fantasia rappresentavano i sudditi del suo regno. Il suo piccolo podere è ora un museo all'aria aperta, mentre altre sue sculture sono esposte presso il Museo dell'Art Brut di Losanna.

Hello Agata, you taught me something new. I sign as the stage for the next trip we will do it again over there.
Thanks, in addition to pictures, also for giving me a new museum.

In our little one we also have our Mount Rushmore.
Great testimony and caption that he deserves, if need be, that Sicily is not "just sea".
Sciacca and the agrigento are areas I miss. I will see. :-)
