What remains of what must have been a village created specifically during the twenty years of Fascism for the workers building the SP2, the road connecting Partinico to the small towns of San Cipirello and San Giuseppe Jato. Four buildings in a row. You walk along the road and suddenly you see them side by side: first a two-story farmhouse, with its classic reddish color, of which almost all that remains are a memory; then another, just like it, about twenty meters away, another at the same distance, and then yet another, but this one is different, larger, more elaborate, with porticos, balconies, and exposed stone ornaments.

Starting just outside the town of San Giuseppe Jato, this stretch of provincial road 20 climbs up to the picturesque Portella della Paglia pass, in a succession of hairpin bends and breathtaking views. The surface isn't perfect, but you can pedal safely even on a small section of landslide, which is well-marked. Tackled in autumn/winter, it almost feels like you're not in Sicily.

A mountain pass about 800 meters above sea level, where for a moment you can almost forget you're in Sicily. Surrounded by woods and deep gorges, it is sadly famous for the massacre that took place there after World War II. Nearby, during the Fascist era, a small village of roadmen's houses was built, whose structures still adorn the sides of the road today.

To explain the name of this small town, it is said that thirteen young women once settled on the nearby islet of Isola delle Femmine, chased away by their relatives for their grave sins. They lived there for seven long years, until their relatives forgave them. Having reunited with them, after a complicated search, they decided to settle on the mainland, on the site of today's town, which they named "Cca paci" (Peace), in the name of the family's newfound peace.
