THE TERRITORY AND THE SURROUNDINGS
Nature, culture, and enchanting landscapes
The Tabarani company is very old, and it still practices transhumance: during the summer months and well into the autumn, the herd moves up into the mountains, deep in the heart of the Park, where the cows enjoy the variety of essences of the fragrant pastures that give a special flavor to their milk. The Madonie provola, produced under these conditions, has a particularly rich composition and taste.
All the towns of Madonie boast well-preserved ancient historical centers, museums, churches, and many sights to visit.
Collesano, which is situated in the Tabarani houses′ territory, is a small but interesting center. It has a beautiful Cathedral, ancient fountains, the remains of the feudal Castle, and nearby, the archaeological area of the primitive settlement. The town also possesses an ancient tradition of making highly precious ceramics. Next to the Town Hall you can visit the Targa Florio Museum, and it′s very interesting to participate in the dance festivals during Carnival and the religious celebrations during Easter.
