Description

In particular, the second volume, of 106 pages, describes the main monuments of the Ragusa Baroque and is illustrated by over 120 images.

For each reported monument, a link is included to the web form of the 3.0 multimedia database created by the Helios “Data Maps Heritage” Study Center. The web page is characterized by the fact that it is georeferenced and therefore visible on an interactive map and with the possibility of identifying the path to reach the monument.

The multivolume work is made up as follows:

  • Vol. 1: Baroque World Heritage Site
  • Vol. 2: Ragusa
  • Vol.3: Modica and Scicli
  • Vol.4: Noto and Palazzolo Acreide
  • Vol.5: Caltagirone and Militello in Val di Catania
  • Vol. 6: Catania

The first volume illustrates the Baroque style, its history and the main Italian and Sicilian characters who have influenced the style which some call the "non-style". In addition, the UNESCO recognition card is illustrated and the difference between monuments and sites actually included in the World Heritage List (World Heritage List).

All the other volumes instead describe, accompanied by a rich photographic documentation (over 700 images), the main monuments testifying to the late Baroque falling in the 8 municipalities interested in UNESCO recognition.
