Approaching Poggioreale, visitors immediately notice a modern layout built a few kilometers south of the original site. This complete reconstruction followed the catastrophic 1968 Belice Valley earthquake, which destroyed the old town and claimed 200 lives.
Rebuilt on safer ground, the town in the Province of Trapani has 1,534 inhabitants. Agriculture and fruit cultivation remain central to local life, defining a community shaped by its relocation in the late 20th century.
