10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Sciacca That You Shouldn't Miss

A soap museum dedicated to the history and science of soap. The museum is an old, restored 19th century building with high ceilings and original stonework. On display, are two old presses and other agricultural tools, typical of South West Sicily. The inspiration to open a soap museum, comes from our experience in making and producing soap and natural cosmetics. We would like to share our passion and knowledge about the history, science and technicalities of soap making, to eveyone interested in learning more about this essential product, which started to be produced in 2800 B.C. All the visits to the museum are guided tours, and at the end of your visit you will have the chance to try our products. We are open ONLY with a reservation, and you may book a tour online or by calling us.

2012 Ho partecipato alla 54. Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Biennale di Venezia di Vittorio Sgarbi, con una recensione del Direttore artistico. Dal 2001 artigiano ceramista modellista di particolari pezzi, statue, sculture di design moderno, presepi artistici. Decorazione di vasi, piatti, pannelli con temi floreali, figurativi, effetti 3D, metamorfosi, stile moderno, bianco e nero con tecniche personali che mi portano alla creazione di nuove linee semplicemente sobrie ed eleganti per ambienti moderni. Composizione sofisticata, in un ritmo di forme eleganti che si trasforma in opere d'arte. Accolgo e approfondisco lo stile della tradizione ceramica di Sciacca che si rinnova con gusto contemporaneo.

In the western side of Sicily, at the slopes of Mount Kronio, not far from Sciacca, there is the “Enchanted Castle”, that is a wonderful place invented by the creativity of man and nature where, besides olives and almond trees, you can find heads engraved in stone by Filippo Bentivegna, called “Philip of the heads”, a real artist endowed by an excellent creativity, one of the greatest exponents of “art brut” or “outside art”.
