A magical tiny village in Sicily, near Partinico

#partinico #oldvillages #gaudi Dear Sicily Lover, in this episode we explored the area of Partinico (province of Palermo) to show you one of the most picturesque villages in Sicily! Borgo Parrini dates back to the 15th century. It was built by the Jesuits and has been an important center for wine production in the 18th century when 300 people worked there. After WW2 the village was abandoned. But in the last years some local people decided to restore the houses and fill them with art and beauty. Nowadays only 7 families live there and so Borgo Parrini is one of the smallest villages in Sicily. You can see beautiful colored houses full of art and flowers. Some artworks remind the famous Gaudi's style that you can find in Barcelona, Spain.
