Gratteri: the most mysterious village of the Madonie
Visit Gratteri is an original tourist portal in the Sicilian landscape that contains Author’s Tales that will lead visitors to discover the area and the attractions of what can be considered the most mysterious village in the Madonie.
The peculiarity of the site consists in fact in the presentation of the territory through stories and legends written by a university researcher, Marco Fragale, who for years has been carrying out sociolinguistic and anthropological research among the inhabitants of the Madonie village and in the State Archives of Palermo.
In fact, many of these stories have been collected in the field over the years and reworked by the author’s creativity. It presents places and monuments with other eyes, those of the memory of those who lived and loved them. It hands down a very important cultural heritage, today the very heart of the portal.
