a very scenic trail, in one of the few fir forests in the area. Cows grazing everywhere, fresh air. A joy for gravel bikers

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)."

a small square, in a town with ancient, village rhythms and flavours, without haste. The church of Sant'Antonio Abate in Ferla is a place of worship located in via Vittorio Emanuele in the area called the Quattro Canti of Ferla. From an artistic point of view it is the most complex of the city's churches. Built after the Noto earthquake, note the absence of the left tower, which collapsed after the 1908 earthquake.

The square with the church, pure baroque, typical of the whole area, is very beautiful.

The patron saint is the Madonna of the Snow celebrated on August 5th each year. During the celebrations the painting of the Madonna is placed inside a fercolo and carried in procession
