"Mary is truly our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She lived a life very similar to ours. It is, of course, beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately of original sin and assumed into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms, and cooking pots..." With the motif of the broom, Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I) may be echoing a sentiment of his predecessor in the office of Bishop of Rome, Giuseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII), who is said to have said: "One can become holy with a pastoral crook in one's hand, but just as one can become holy with a broom."

Not far from the castle of Sclafani, the church of Santa Maria Assunta was probably founded as a palatine church at the service of the lords of Sclafani. It underwent important changes in the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. Of particular beauty, among the things found inside, is a Roman sarcophagus embellished with Dionysian scenes, reused for the burial of the counts of Sclafani and coming from the castle.

Lercara Friddi, a fascinating municipality, is located near the slopes of Colle Madore, famous for its Sicanian archaeological remains, nestled between the suggestive Landro valley and the river valley of Fiumetorto and Platani.
