i tesori della sicilia occidentale

The students of the class II B, of our high school "F. D'Aguirre", created this website for touristic purposes. They collected all the news and the photographic material thanks to the thematic insights and the guided tours, through the testimonies of the past kept in museums and historical archives, with the direct observation of the architectural, monumental heritage and the study of the landscape areas of the archaeological sites. In this way the students could reconstruct their identity dimension and developed a greater sensitivity for the protection of their cultural heritage. This multimedia space makes possible to give information about the places and events that characterized the local history and archeological sites of the western Sicily. All the published material is also the result of the news learned from the testimony of some people who are a precious reference point to know the places visited. Therefore, we thank Leonardo Lombardo, a passionate archaeologist of the "Xaipe" association, and Paolo Cammarata, an expert of our local history and traditions; They contributed, with their competence, guiding and helping the students in the visits, so they could discover all the original and exclusive details, for this activity". We want to thank a lot our headmistress Francesca Accardo who support this school activity, sharing its educational and cultural value.
