The Orestiadi are a formidable tourist attraction for our countrymen, as well as of course for those coming from outside Sicily and want to take the opportunity to get to know the wonders of the Trapani area, enjoy breathtaking landscapes and an extraordinary historical, cultural and environmental heritage.

Telling Sicily and the potential of this area through art declined in all its facets and with the involvement of leading artists is an exciting and courageous choice.
