The town of Caltabellotta, in the province of Agrigento, stands on the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Triokala, whose name incorporates the three positive aspects characterising it: the fertility of its land, the abundance of water and a spectacular geographical position at the top of a mountain. Despite the transformations taking place over the course of the centuries, the bonds with ancient times and a magical and ancestral form of knowledge would appear never to have been interrupted and have continued until the present day.
