Gibellina is a unique town located in the province of Trapani, Sicily. The original town was completely destroyed by the Belice Valley earthquake in 1968, leading to the creation of Gibellina Nuova (New Gibellina) about 18 kilometers from the original site. This relocation presented an unprecedented opportunity for urban planning and artistic expression.
The new town was rebuilt as an open-air museum, featuring numerous contemporary art installations, sculptures, and architectural works by prominent Italian and international artists. The ruins of the old town were transformed into a remarkable art piece known as the "Grande Cretto" by artist Alberto Burri, who covered the remnants with white concrete blocks, preserving the street layout of the original town.
Today, Gibellina serves as a testament to the relationship between urban planning, contemporary art, and collective memory, making it a significant cultural site in Sicily.
