The space The name Melagrana (pomegranate) comes from the famous passage of Gesualdo Bufalino's book "Argo il cieco": "One summer I was Young and happy, in ’Fifty-One. Neither before nor after: just that summer. It may have been by grace and favour of the place I lived, a town like a pomegranate split in two, close to the sea yet pastoral, the one half clinging to a cliff-face, the other bespattered at his foot, with innumerable flights of steps like peacemakers between the two and clouds in the sky, between one bell-tower and the next…" In Sicily, as in many other places, the pomegranate is symbol of abundance, wealth and fertility.
