Approaching Villarosa means driving through central Sicilian landscapes defined by wheat fields, olive groves, and almond trees. Agriculture drives the economy of this town of 5,130 residents in the Enna province. To sample the harvest, visit around September 8th during the annual feast of the Madonna della Catena.
During the 20th century, severe unemployment triggered a massive wave of emigration from the area. Locals dispersed globally, forging a notably strong connection with Belgium. This historical tie was formalized in 2002 when Villarosa twinned with Morlanwelz, a primary destination for the town's outgoing workforce.
