Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στο Τράπανι

Η πλατεία XV Gennaio 1968, πλακοστρωμένη με μάρμαρο τραβερτίνη, εκτείνεται στην κεντρική περιοχή της πόλης. Οφείλει το όνομά της στη μνήμη της ημέρας που ένας βίαιος σεισμός κατέστρεψε μεγάλο μέρος των Δήμων της κοιλάδας Belìce. Πάνω της υψώνεται το Δημαρχείο, μια επιβλητική μπροστινή δομή, με γεωμετρικά σχήματα, που διακόπτονται από γυάλινα ανοίγματα, σχεδιασμένη από τους Vittorio Gregotti και Giuseppe Samonà, υποστηριζόμενη από μια στοά διακοσμημένη με κεραμικά έργα της Carla Accardi.

coming from Castelluzzo, a hairpin bend and a semi-straight (that seems to never end) that in a couple of kilometers rises by over a hundred meters

A village uninhabited for decades, ever since the entire population was relocated en masse to a brand-new town. Three thousand people, the exodus of survivors of the 1968 earthquake that destroyed entire towns in the provinces of Trapani and Agrigento. Today, only façades remain, baroque railings, old majolica tiles, a tangle of houses leaning against the bell tower of the main church, and stairways that look like they were cut out with scissors on a sheet of paper. Before the earthquake, Poggioreale was a delightful baroque village, with noble palaces, the square with the club, the inn, and everything else. The ruins bear witness to a tragedy from 40 years ago: fear, escape, separation. A place that, due to its beauty and the evocative atmosphere it evokes, has been the setting for numerous famous films: it is here that Tornatore filmed some scenes from Malena and The Star Man. An island out of time, with the hands of the clock stopped on the terrible night of January 15, 1968.

Piazza 15 gennaio 1968 is the main square of the city of Gibellina, dedicated to the tragedy that struck it on the night between 14 and 15 January 1968 with a terrible earthquake.
