Explore the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark: itineraries, podcasts, videos, and community maps to experience Sicily through the lens of restanza.

The summer events at the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark have come to a close, but the journey of discovery continues.

Through talks, workshops, hikes, exhibitions, and performances, the SiMGeo project has crossed the territories of the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark, collecting stories, memories, and testimonies from local communities.

Today that heritage is alive, accessible to everyone, and ready to be (re)discovered online.

Here’s how to keep traveling into the heart of central Sicily.

Listen to the podcast “Voci di Restanza”

The Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark also comes to life through the voices of those who live there.

Across 10 episodes, the podcast Voci di Restanza features entrepreneurs and visionaries who chose to stay, return, or put down roots in Sicily’s inland areas.

Each episode is a concrete example of restanza: the conscious choice to remain within one’s community, safeguarding the land’s memory and turning it into a future.

From the myth of Enna to cultivated countryside, from traditional crafts to new forms of sustainable tourism, the podcast reveals the deep identity of the Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark.
