Exactly 11,580 people live in Campobello di Mazara, a Sicilian municipality bordered by Mazara del Vallo and Castelvetrano. Colloquially shortened to just "Campobello" by locals, the town experiences a drastic geographic shift each year as the weather warms.
Rather than staying inland, much of the population relocates to the sea during the summer months. The minor seaside districts of Tre Fontane and Torretta Granitola absorb these seasonal crowds, becoming the primary coastal settlements of the area until autumn returns.

📅 Every year, on 15 June
Campobello di Mazara celebrates Saint Vitus the martyr on 15 June; the town's history is tied to the medieval castle that in the 13th century was a residence of Frederick II of Swabia, while the municipal territory holds the Cave di Cusa, from which the columns of the nearby Selinunte temples were quarried.
