This is a little known museum, with spectacualr displays and unusual themes. The juxtapositioning of unrelated objectsmakes it particularly interesting. Well worth a detour
2. Tenute Orestiadi

In the muffled silence of the barrique cellar, immersed in the suspended time of the slow evolution of wine, contemporary art finds a new temple. This venue is bringing to life a new project: the first permanent contemporary museum of art in an active barrique cellar in Italy.

"Cretto di Burri" by artist Alberto Burri is one of the largest pieces of land art. Constructed on top of the earthquake ruined village of Gibellina, Burri followed the former street plan covering the village with a white concrete maze. It is a formal and anti-formal dedication, patching and mending nature's destruction, solidifying an earthquake. Incredibly bright in the sun, it is soft and quiet and an obvious reference to interior vs exterior space by mimicking the agricultural patchwork of the surrounding farmland as well as the ghost of a village. Burri's work in general consists of un-art materials: burlap, tar, melted plastic, cracked paint/plaster etc. Access the site by way of Poggioreale/Gibellina Vecchia from the east side of the hill...otherwise you will abruptly run into deep cracks and holes in the roads on the west side!
8. Gibellina Nuova

3.0 based on 112 reviews
Gibellina nuova is the biggest contemporary outdoor work of art in the world, with an extraordinary collection of works by important artists such as Carla Accardi who created the panels in ceramics Senza titolo - untitled (1987-1988), situated under the colonnade of the town hall, Nino Mustica, creator of a Fontana - Fountain, or Mimmo Rotella, creator of the Omaggio a Tommaso Campanella - Homage to Tommaso Campanella. The Fontana in travertine marble is by Andrea Cascella which, like all the sculptures along the roads in Gibellina, is a reference point from which to get one's bearings in the streets of the butterfly shaped urban layout of the town.

For m,e this was the highlight of my holiday the most amazing place in Sicily, both for the artwork in the new town Gibellina Nuova and the unique concrete spectacle of the old town Gibellina Vecchia, aka Ruderi di Gibellina. It's some way from the main cities but not too hard to get to. There are a couple of trains each day from Palermo (take the airport train first, then change at Piraineto for the smaller train to Salemi-Gibellina). Contact Daniele from GibelTransfer - he has a very reasonably priced big red minibus to take you up to the old town (about 11km away) and also around the sculptures in the new town. He's extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and speaks good English - you'll enjoy it and learn a lot! His email - [email protected] His phone - +39 373 5530126 or +39 391 4231260
