Sambuca di Sicilia, district of Agrigento, not far from south-west coast of Sicily. The town won the title of Italian “Borgo dei Borghi” in 2017, a special prize conceived to valorize the most beautiful Italian villages. Effectively, this small town built on a hill facing the artificial lake Arancio is an enchanting sample of an old Sicilian settlement, with a strong historical background and a typical rural atmosphere.
Founded in high middle age by the Arabs, the new conquerors of Sicily, who built a castle named Zabut on the top of the hill, the town had several masters during its life. Saracens lived here since the 1225 when their resistance against the Normans definitively ended and survivors were deported. The old saracen quarter is the legacy of that period.
The Arab district is probably the main attraction of the ancient village, a dense network of narrow streets, alleys and houses with one or two floors and sometimes external staircases, suddenly interrupted by a small square or a garden. But Sambuca is not only this, the town offers full of interesting worship buildings and noble palaces, witnessing its disputed past, located in the sixth century part of the town, the “out of the wall” part, comparing with the Arab district on the top of the hill.
Walking along the narrow streets of Sambuca is a relaxing experience. Even in sunny days shadows and altitude reduce the high temperatures. No traffic, no noises, just wind and birds singing. Several urban paintings and graffiti decorate the doors and windows, an artistic touch that fits very well with the mood of the town. I am sure you will love the walk. Take a breath at the belvedere square at the end of Corso Umberto, the main road. This is the best sightseeing place where you can admire ta wonderful landscape on Belice Valley with its colored countryside.
This film was filmed in 2020 during my first trip after lockdown for pandemic. It was an healthy moment after an hard period.
Filmed mostly with a Canon Legria, just few footage was taken with a GoPro Hero 7. The starting flight sequence from lake Arancio was filmed with a Mavic Air drone.
Photos are by Francesca Sparatore with her Nikon D7500.
I used I-Movie for Post-production and editing.
The track “A Thousand Skins. Part. 2“ (Instrumental Version) is by Josh Woodward and is available on Free Music Archive.

It’s true Lulu! In Sicily most of wonders remains unknown. Nice to meet you here!
A deserted, old, atmospheric town disposes for a relaxed walk and philosophical reflections. I love these walks.

Thank you 🙏! Grazie!
Quanta meraviglia!
Ciao Francesco! Benvenuto in questo gruppo. Sambuca è veramente un luogo magico. Ci sei stato? Se capita, è da non perdere.
@@andreadistefanoMS Purtroppo no, ma conto di visitare buona parte dell' agrigentino e del ragusano il prossimo anno. La Sicilia offre tanto da un capo all' altro, è dificilissimo usufruire per intero della sua immensa bellezza.
What a beautiful setting for town! The architecture and streets are so picturesque. I hadn't heard much about this place until now, really enjoyed this video! :)
Thank you for your comment. This is a small town in the south of Sicily. I often try to suggest some unknown places that deserve a visit. Those far from most famous and crowded locations. Especially in Sicily, my homeland.
@@andreadistefanoMS awesome idea! You have a beautiful homeland!
Un posto fantastico grazie per averlo fatto conoscere anche a me :) like
Grazie Sergio!
Ciao, Andrea! Bravo! Belissimo!
Spasiba, Vlad!!!

Not exactly but I know it because I have a friend who lives in Moscow and told me about. I must watch it asap. Did you like it?
@@andreadistefanoMS I liked it! It's a new wave in our New Year's shows...
@@VladRoS1981 I’ll watch it soon and tell you my point of view. I am working on a video concerning my brief journey to Moscow in 2019. I count on your opinion! Have a nice week end, Vlad!
This is stunning!
Thank you guys!
Thanks for your incredible job. Soon maybe I´ll start a great adventure with my partner in a Airbnb house. Your video is a magical inspiration for us.

Beautiful sightseeing Andrea! We’re you visiting or live in the area?
Hi Flavia! Nice to meet you here! I live in Sicily but in the east side of the island. Sambuca is 200 kilometers far from my town but it’s easy to get there by car. Thank you for watching and for your comment. I hope to “see” you again in this channel. There is plenty of videos concerning Sicily!
@@andreadistefanoMS such a beautiful family you have! I visited Italy in 2013 so I think it’s time to return! I just love the lifestyle and friendliness! Thanks for sharing your videos though!
@@flaviaAbdallah1 If you come back to Italy, you must come to the south and visit Sicily. I am sure you would love it! Good night Flavia!
AMEI ❤❤

come posso trovare Rinaldo giuseppe,via .Amendola ,44 Sambuca di Sicilia
Mi dispiace ma non abito a Sambuca. Potresti provare a mandare un telegramma se sei certo dell’indirizzo.

Capisco. Prova a scrivergli, sarà un metodo antiquato ma funziona.
