Already a medieval village inserted in the authentic villages of Italy, Castel di Lucio enters the 1 euro houses projects to revalue the historic centre where there are many abandoned houses that need to be renovated.
With its 1200 inhabitants, the municipality wants to strengthen the tourism and economy of its region, as has already happened in several Sicilian villages with the success of 1 euro houses projects. The project aims to enhance the hinterland rich in art and culture, outside the great mass tourism.
In this spirit, the Municipality launches the project, waiting to draw up the allocation ranking, where priority will be given to the best projects that undertake to conclude the works in agile and contained times.
Located on the Nebrodi mountains, the village of Castel di Lucio is located on a small hill, where the Norman Castle of the thirteenth century stands on the top. Inside the village, there are many small churches that preserve a precious artistic heritage. Stone portals and decorations decorate the houses and narrow streets that offer the visitor openings and corners of enchanting value.
The Fiumana d’Arte is an open-air works park in Castel di Lucio, created by several artists near the area of the Western Nebrodi. It is the most relevant artistic production of the twentieth century that has affected Sicily.
There are several notable works including the work “La materia poteva non esserci” by Pietro Consegra and along the provincial road “Una curva gettata alle spalle del tempo” by Paolo Schiavocampo. The latter is a monolith of reinforced concrete covered with iron sheets that takes the form of a sail beaten by the wind and that gives the place a sense of eternity and mystery.
But Italo Lanfredini’s “Il labirinto di Arianna” is perhaps the most evocative work of the entire Fiumara, located on the hill near the urban center of Castel di Lucio. The work recalls classical culture and Greek mythology. The labyrinth is actually a large womb that is accessed to enter a path of searching for oneself and then reborn.
Just 1 km from the village you can take several paths that offer us the possibility of hiking in the mountains until you reach the 1200 meters high of the mountains or go down to the sea.
