PAOLO TAKES US TO A MAGICAL PLACE WHERE LAND MEETS THE SEA
A deep immersion into the anthropology and untouched nature of the Vendicari Nature Reserve. Guided by the expert and charismatic voice of Paolo Uccello, you will discover a hidden side of Vendicari that goes far beyond its famous beaches. Paolo reveals the historical and cultural secrets preserved within the Eco-museum: from old handmade ecological toys to the ancient magical-homeopathic formulas once used by Sicilian peasants. The experience continues by exploring the rich biodiversity of the coastal marshes (a true “hotel” for pink flamingos) and the historical details of the 18th-century Vendicari Tuna Fishery (Tonnara), explaining the harsh life of the fishermen, their propitiatory chants (la caloma and la shaloma), and the fascinating origins of historic Sicilian idioms.
