This church, dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin: "Santa Croce"), derives its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross largely originates from Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the Milvian Bridge in front of Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and ended the long period of persecution with the Edict of Toleration of Milan in 312). She made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) in the early fourth century and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross," on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the Feast of the Discovery, public presentation, and veneration of the Holy Cross—called the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross"—on September 14th.

From the publisher's information: The myth of Sicily is ambivalent and constantly evolving. On the one hand, the island and its inhabitants are clinging to an aura of the archaic, the mysterious, and the exotic. On the other hand, everything seems to have been scrutinized: the Mafia and its crimes, the darkest machinations, the fiercest passions, and the most picturesque landscapes. At the same time, the inextricable traces of countless occupiers throughout the island's millennia-old history... still shape our image of Sicily. Giuseppe Tomasi, noble Prince of Lampedusa [1896 to 1957], revived the myth of Sicily in his novel "Il Gattopardo" [The Leopard] and in his short stories, but in many respects also questioned it.

Sambuca di Sicilia preserves traces of its Arab origins, including the castle and the historic Piazza della Libertà. Sambuca is also famous for its sweet wine, a Moscato, and for having become one of the "most beautiful villages in Italy". The landscape that surrounds it, between hills and vineyards, offers breathtaking views.

The Cretto di Burri in Gibellina, also known as “Il Grande Cretto”, is a unique work of art that honors the destroyed town of Gibellina after the devastating earthquake of 1968. Italian artist Alberto Burri created this monumental work between 1985 and 1989 and it was completed in 2015. With its huge white concrete blocks that look like giant cracks in the ground, the work symbolizes the lasting pain and memory of the past, but at the same time, renewal and reconstruction. Walking through the Cretto almost feels like walking through the past, as if you are re-entering the streets and alleys of the old town. The approximately 80,000 square meter area is made up of concrete structures that trace the original city layout. What is particularly impressive is the fact that the blocks are made from the rubble of the old town itself. When you stand on the Cretto and take in the simple but powerful aesthetic, you can literally feel the connection between art, history and human resilience. It is not only a reminder of what was lost, but also a symbol of hope and rebirth. It is especially beautiful if you do the hike in clear weather - the view into the distance underlines the silence and grandeur of this unique place.
