The Timeless Charm of Old Poggioreale
Founded in 1642 by Francesco Morso, Marquis of Gibellina, Old Poggioreale is one of Italy's most famous and visited historical memory sites. With its intact paved streets, monumental Church steps, and preserved facades, it was chosen as an evocative film location by renowned directors including Giuseppe Tornatore.
Contemporary Architecture
The new settlement, rebuilt further down the valley, was planned by prominent Italian architects such as Paolo Portoghesi, producing public spaces and buildings of distinctive architectural merit.
Quality Agriculture and Livestock
The fertile countryside produces ancient Sicilian grains, nutritious fodder for sheep farming tied to the Vastedda PDO supply chain, extra virgin olive oil, and seasonal garden produce.
