Partinico is tied to one of civil Italy's highest pages: here worked Danilo Dolci, the "Italian Gandhi", whose fasts and "reverse strikes" won, in the Fifties and Sixties, the dam on the Jato river and the farmers' redemption — the study centre keeps his memory. The royal Bourbon winery, a monumental wine works commissioned by Ferdinand IV, attests a vocation continuing in the DOC vineyards.
Between the citrus plain and the gulf of Castellammare, Partinico is a gate of western Sicily: half an hour from Palermo, ten minutes from the coves of Balestrate.
