  • 1 Il Paesaggio Culturale Della Contea Di Modica
    Il paesaggio culturale della Contea di Modica Elena DI BLASI Dipartimento di Economia e Territorio, Facoltà di Economia, Università degli Studi di Catania, c.so Italia, 55 –95129- Catania, tel.095/375344 int.336, fax 095/377174, e-mail: [email protected] Riassunto. La ricerca vuole offrire spunti di riflessione su un’ area della Sicilia dalla storia antica: la Contea di Modica. Una storia, quella della Contea, che affonda le proprie radici indietro nel tempo, scandita da diverse dominazioni che hanno lasciato i “segni” impressi sul territorio, interessato da nefasti eventi naturali che hanno determinato via via l’assetto urbanistico, politico, economico e sociale. Per meglio comprendere le caratteristiche dei centri, che un tempo fecero parte della gloriosa Contea, si è cercato di cogliere gli aspetti percettivi anche attraverso la cartografia storica, che contribuisce a dare il “senso dei luoghi” e la loro “immagine”. Obiettivo del lavoro è quello di evidenziare le forti potenzialità turistiche di questo territorio, non soltanto per la presenza di un patrimonio artistico di valore inestimabile, eredità delle variegate ed alterne vicende umane espresse nelle diverse forme di cultura materiale ed immateriale, ma anche per i grandi giacimenti naturali. Sono stati, inoltre, indagati i punti di forza di Ragusa, Modica e Scicli, città che appartennero all’antica Contea. Questi tre centri fanno parte con Caltagirone, Catania, Militello in Val di Catania e Noto di un ampio progetto denominato il “Piano di Gestione del Val di Noto” che ha come obiettivo l’analisi di tutte le risorse comprese in questa vasta area avente come unico comune denominatore il Barocco, già riconosciuto dall’Unesco patrimonio dell’umanità, e coglierne nel contempo le differenze.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE Many places in the Mediterranean can lay claim to being a “crossroads of cultures and civilizations,” but none with better justification than Sicily. For, 3,000 years, wave after wave of new cultures, ideas and artistic techniques have swept over the island, leaving in their wake temples, theaters, castles villages, and extraordinary works of art that together have earned Sicily the reputation of an “open-air museum.” Our itinerary demonstrates the importance of Sicily to Greek civilization in the great theaters at Syracuse and Taormina and in the Doric temples at Agrigento and Segesta. Roman remains mingle with the Greek in Syracuse, and the wealth of Imperial Rome is evident in the 3rd-century villa near Piazza Armerina.

  • Modica: Se I Vostri Itinerari Non La Prevedono, Cambiateli!
    Modica: se i vostri itinerari non la prevedono, cambiateli! Nel 1693, l'area della Sicilia denominata Val di Noto, fu rasa al suolo da un terribile terremoto. Gli architetti che ridiedero vita a quest'area si imposero come veri e propri maestri del Barocco Siciliano. Paragrafando le parole dell'UNESCO, le loro opere “rappresentano il culmine e la fioritura conclusiva dell'arte Barocca in Europa”. Modica, a breve distanza dal mare, è costituita da due parti collegate da numerose scalinate, ed è ricca di palazzi ed edifici nobiliari, chiese maestose, con le loro suggestive cupole, campanili ed elaborate facciate, intervallate da tetti dalle tegole rosse. Il capolavoro è senza ombra di dubbio la bellissima Chiesa di San Giorgio. Modica ha una storia lunga e complessa. Raggiunse il culmine dello splendore sotto la Dinastia Aragonese (dal XIV al XVIII secolo) fino a spiccare per importanza nel 1296, quando Federico II d'Aragona fondò la “Contea di Modica”, considerata una sorta di “stato nello stato”. Gli Spagnoli importarono usanze e segreti, appresi dai conquistadores durante le loro avventure: il più importante contributo fu la ricetta imparata dagli Aztechi per la creazione del cioccolato. La ricetta resta inalterata ancora oggi. Passeggiando per Modica, scoprirete molti cioccolattai che confezionano un prodotto unico al palato. La ricetta è estremamente semplice. La pasta di cacao ottenuta dalla macinazione dei semi di cacao viene posta in un recipiente di rame e sciolta a bagnomaria in modo che la temperatura non superi i 45° C; successivamente si mescola all'impasto lo zucchero e le spezie (tradizionalmente vaniglia, cannella o peperoncino).
