The village without time and the city of marble from Trapani

Discover the enchanting village of Scurati, near Custonaci, an ancient prehistoric settlement now a speleological geo-site. Transformed from a prehistoric shelter into a 19th-century micro-village by the Mangiapane family, who lived there until the early 1950s, it is now home to a living nativity scene and an open-air museum. Strolling through this timeless village, you’ll witness the daily life of past trades—cobblers, tailors, puppeteers—and encounter farm animals.

Next, venture into the marble heart of these mountains. Known as Botticino di Sicilia, this prized marble is renowned worldwide for its impact resistance and unique ivory color with brown veins. The Custonaci marble basin is the second most important in Italy. At the Marble Museum in Custonaci, explore how this durable stone is transformed from utility into art. To conclude the tour, meet a local artisan who has dedicated his life to preserving this ancient craft, passed down through generations.
