This documentary travels through the long path from prehistory to the 1800`s, showing the images of one of the biggest necropolis of the pre-protohistoric ages of western Sicily, as well as the prehistoric findings of Alcamo, for the first time ever.
From the castles to the last traces of the fourteenth century architecture, from the rural courtyerds to the churches, to the finding of the image of "Mary holding her Child", adored as "Maria Santissima dei Miracoli" (Blessed Mary of Wonders), the documentary enfolds through the description of most of the monumental and artistic works of Alcamo, and it describes their "cohabitation" with most recent wonders: the evocative remains of the Annunziata church, the imposing Castle of the Counts of Modica, the sparkling baroque of the churches, the prestigious works beheld within them, created by the illustrious hands of artists such as Antonello Gagini, Pietro Novelli, Guglielmo Borremanse, Giacomo Serpotta.
