Having followed the traces of both recent and distant past, we must ask ourselves what it means to live in this area today. The itinerary then follows the common thread of those who have chosen to stay – heirs to past generations – transforming their work into a shared and sustainable model.
This is an invitation to discover the Kore Siciliae consortium through the practices and stories that populate the ecomuseum network: artistic craftsmanship capable of revitalising traditional knowledge, advanced agriculture that recovers ancient crops, and nature and environmental guides who act within the community and in tourism hospitality as drivers of social innovation and territorial promotion.
Far from the most frequented tourist routes, this experiential itinerary winds through the countryside and inland towns of the island and the Mediterranean. These are places which, despite the challenges of depopulation and damaging development models, are charting out different prospects thanks to the determination of those who remain – those who embody a responsible rootedness in place, renewing local knowledge and proposing a possible future.
