Other projects
The history of the province of Enna is important because it tells the story of a territory and its inhabitants who have faced undeniable difficulties due to the lack of access to the sea. However, this has not prevented the development of local culture and economy. The province of Enna has fascinated many visitors who have been able to admire the artistic and naturalistic beauties of the territory. The suppression of the province represented an important change in the lives of the people who lived there, but at the same time allowed for a renewal of the management and organization of the territory's resources.
