PROVINCE
OF AGRIGENTO
The
province of Agrigento comprises forty-three cities and covers an
area of 3,041.90 square kilometres. Agrigento, the capital city,
is one of high tourism importance, boasting inestimable historical,
naturalistic and archaeological attractions. Notably, it has managed
to take advantage of its resources also thanks to promoting and
supporting initiatives such as the Mandorlo in Fiore festival (almond
blossom festival), a long-awaited event recurring every year in
February in the breath-taking Valley of the Temples. The city is
also renowned for being the birth-place of illustrious figures such
as the Greek philosopher Empedocles and the writer Luigi Pirandello.
Agrigento
boasts outstanding culinary traditions that a number of delicious
dishes have rendered most famous. Among these are the pasta with
ricotta and fava-beans – from a country tradition –,
the pasta with sardines alla sciacchitana, the so-called pasta Tiano
d’Aragona, the tortino di melanzane – an eggplant pie
– and the pasta allo sfincione. Sweets are as much appreciated;
noteworthy are the cucuzzata, the pumpkin jam – much used
in the confectionery – and the Uova murine, a traditional
sweet from Sciacca.
