Belpasso

The shape of Belpasso resembles a chessboard as it arranged in straight lines and side streets that cross each other in a unique varied fabric of the towns nearby. From a bird’s eye view, you may admire the red-coloured roofs arranged like petals, frayed and bordered by the dark green fields around. Etna’s smoking cone (from the Greek “Burning Mountain” otherwise “Flame Thrower” called “Monte Gibel” that later became “Mongibello” looms sometimes peacefully, sometimes menacing, but ever present and deeply linked to Belpasso’s history.

The genuine, smiling people of Belpasso are linked to nature and the moods of the Giant who dominates and rules the life of the community living on its slopes.nerous and dominating does it loom over the revered and florid countryside.
