at 24mm, 1/125 f/8.0, ISO 160, Caltabellotta, Italy.

Qui, il 31 agosto 1302, fu concluso fra Carlo di Valois e Federico II d'Aragona il trattato di pace che pose fine alla sanguinosa guerra dei Vespri siciliani "Pace di Caltabellotta". Prima di acquisire il nome arabo di «Kal'at Ballut» (rocca delle querce) era chiamata «Triocala», che significa «tre cose belle». Queste, secondo Diodoro Siculo, consistevano nell'essere ricca di acque sorgive, avere attorno fertili terreni coltivati a vigne e ulivi, ed essere protetta dall'inespugnabile rupe. Sono caratteristiche che il luogo conserva ancora, insieme al tessuto urbano medievale.

Good evening, Frederick. I really like this series of photos, landscapes full of information. The best compliment (especially for old photographer like me) you did Ivan "It looks like a postcard" behind which he wrote, "Vera photograph" Hello.
