Winding provincial roads lead down into the lower Verdura river valley, where Lucca Sicula first comes into view. Established in 1621, this rural municipality in the province of Agrigento has maintained its agricultural identity for over four centuries.

Home to nearly 1,900 residents, the town lies 40 kilometres northwest of Agrigento and 60 kilometres south of Palermo. Groves of olive trees and orange orchards dominate the countryside, driving the local economy through olive oil and citrus production.
