Pantelleria is marked by hundreds of meters of dry stone walls. Knowing how to build a cheduri wall is an art that has been handed down from generation to generation over time.
In a few days the Pantelleria Park, together with the Municipality, EbatTrapani and Itla Italia Aps, will launch a free, theoretical and practical course for 10 people. The course will last 34 hours, 10 theoretical and 24 practical. The "teacher" will be Pietro Della Monica, a landscaping expert. Since 2018 it has been a UNESCO intangible heritage site, a recognition that came 4 years after the one awarded for the cultivation of sapling vines. There is no manual for making them - says Battista Belvisi, 50 years old, a farmer from the Buggeber district. "You have to be good at choosing the best stones, splitting them and then putting them together, one on top of the other, finding a natural joint so that they support each other with the other"
