Racalmuto

The low cultivated hills of central Sicily define the setting of Racalmuto — their patchwork of fields and winding roads gives this inland town a distinctly agrarian rhythm. In the province of Agrigento, Racalmuto is closely associated with writer Leonardo Sciascia, who was born here in 1921; the memories and social tensions of his hometown informed much of his work, often under the fictional name Regalpetra. The Chiaramontano Castle recalls Sicily’s medieval feudal era, while the town’s position also connects it with the island’s former sulphur-mining country, another subject Sciascia examined closely.
