Perched atop a charming hill in Sicily, Gangi has earned its title as Italy"s most beautiful town, a distinction that speaks volumes about its rich history and culture. This village had about 16,000 residents in the 1950s, but today, it is home to a little more than 6,000. In Gangi, the essence of traditional Sicilian life is palpable. Wander through its cobbled streets and you"ll find ancient churches and elegant palaces. The locals, known for their warm hospitality, invite you to savour the flavours of local cuisine and immerse yourself in their way of life.

Keen on revitalisation, Gangi attracts attention by gifting abandoned houses to those committed to their restoration. Whether you"re exploring its historical depths or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery, Gangi promises an authentic and enriching experience.
