The historical centre of Modica is a UNESCO World Heritage site as well: just 15 kilometres south of Ragusa, this city has an ancient history too – first inhabited by the Sicels and the Phoenicians, Modica has been known for its vibrant cultural and economical life since the Renaissance: philosophers, musicians and even the writer Salvatore Quasimodo, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1959. As it happened to the other towns of the Noto Valley, the earthquake of 1693 destroyed a great part of the city, which was rebuilt with the finest typical Sicilian baroque architecture examples afterwards – the extraordinary Saint George Dome, with its three-level façade rich in lavish decorations and its five-naves structure, as well as the Cathedral of Saint Peter with its remarkable belltower. The city of Modica, however, is also well-known for its delicious chocolate, still produced according to an ancient Aztech recipe brought here by the Spanish during their domination in the Seventeenth Century: its flavour is absolutely one of a kind, and a taste is absolutely recommended!

Modica, Italy 1/9/2022

« Un teatro era il paese, un proscenio di pietre rosa, una festa di mirabilia. E come odorava di gelsomino sul far della sera. Non finirei mai di parlarne, di ritornare a specchiarmi in un così tenero miraggio di lontananze… »

(Gesualdo Bufalino, Argo il cieco ovvero i sogni della memoria)

Sicily

Rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, its architecture has been recognised as providing outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe and, along with other towns in the Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy.

un paese in figura di melagrana spaccata; vicino al mare ma campagnolo; metà ristretto su uno sprone di roccia, metà sparpagliato ai suoi piedi; con tante scale fra le due metà, a far da pacieri, e nuvole in cielo da un campanile all'altro, trafelate come staffette dei Cavalleggeri del Re... che sventolare, a quel tempo, di percalli da corredo e lenzuola di tela di lino per tutti i vicoli delle due Modiche, la Bassa e la Alta. Gesualdo Bufalino
