Cristaldi’s words and Franco’s photos depict Mazara’s casbah, a model of inclusion

While the situation in Israel continues to be tense, despite the ceasefire for the release of hostages by Hamas, in Sicily there is a microcosm considered a model of inclusion in the world. We are talking about the casbah of Mazara del Vallo, the most Arab place in Italy, where peaceful coexistence between the West and the East, between Christianity and Islam has long prevailed. Among stories and legends. The Mazara casbah testifies to the coexistence of different cultures and religions, and this magical place has been recounted by Giovanni Franco and Nicola Cristaldi in the book “Il Canto della Casbah,” available in bookstores and online. The volume was also presented at the Frankfurt International Book Fair. The book features texts and images from Franco and a long story by Cristaldi. It delves into the history and traditions that have shaped the territory, and showcases the coexistence of Christian and Muslim prayers. The book will be presented in Mazara del Vallo in the near future at a new cultural space.
