ミリテッロインヴァルディカタニア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ14

Admittedly, my encounter with the monument here in Vizzini revealed a gap in my knowledge, as I had never been familiar with either the person or the work of Giovanni Verga (1840 to 1922) before. The man honored here in his hometown with a beautiful statue and a museum is recognized by Wikipedia as "an Italian writer and one of the main representatives of Verismo, Italian naturalism. His main works are the novels La Malavoglia (1881) and Mastro-Don Gesualdo (1889), as well as the short story collections Country Life (1880) and Peasant Novellas (1883)."

Patron saint of Militello is the SS. Savior. The celebration with the procession of the simulacrum through the streets of the town is on August 18th. For the octave a shorter procession is planned in front of the Mother Church

A little further downstream there is an old mill. Picnic area right at the waterfall.

To reach the waterfall, follow the path of about 1 km well marked by signs. The last section of the trail consists of stairs and is therefore only accessible to hikers

Militello in Val di Catania ('Militeḍḍu' in dialect) is a Sicilian treasure known for its priceless monumental heritage. In 2002, Militello was recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site together with seven other late Baroque cities of the Val di Noto. Its history has its roots in antiquity, with archaeological evidence ranging from the Copper and Hellenistic Ages to the Byzantine and Arab ones. Legends tell of its foundation during the Second Punic War, while historical evidence links it to the Norman era. The Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Stella is an example of its artistic and cultural richness. Not far away, the Ossena Waterfalls offer a fascinating natural oasis.

Lake Lentini, or biviere di Lentini, is located in the province of Syracuse, in Sicily. According to legend, it was created by the hero Hercules, while some believe it was the work of the Templars in the 12th century. Dried up in the 20th century, it was later rebuilt in the 1970s. Today it is an oasis for migratory birds and nesting species.

These natural waterfalls flow lush all year round.
