"If after reading this book something in you will not be changed and you have not thought about the life and values on which it is based, then the advice is to take it again in your hand and start reading it again. The book you are about to start, is not an invitation from the author to satisfy the desire of reading the voracious written words, but to induce them to expose the most hidden meanders of the human soul. What we show is not always what we are or what we do not yet know we are. Sometimes, to investigate yourself, you need someone or something to guide you, to encourage you to look inside. Reading in the depths leads man to better understand not only himself, but also those around him and enrich him from a human or cultural point of view. Reading this book you can choose which side to stand, living a life with the perspective of the dream and goals to achieve, or pursue them sometimes hindering the life prospects of others." Maria Concetta Mancuso

About us
The Sikalesh Association was born from the decades-long commitment of its founders to the promotion and cultural dissemination of our immense heritage. A non-profit organization, it upholds the belief that only the community and active citizenship can bring out all the good and beauty a region has to offer, treasuring the past as a driving force, extracting from it every healthy virtue that still shapes us today, especially through respect, study, and memory. Ours is a past rich in history and steeped in culture, from which great things were born and illustrious geniuses lived. The same men—musicians, painters, architects, and poets—have made this land great, and the same commitment, the same commitment, demands of us all. Sikalesh has this goal: to help raise awareness of the beauty of our beloved Sicily, through what has come down to us after centuries, too often shrouded in indifference and neglect, yet which remains powerfully emotive, for us and for future generations.

Holy Sacrament's Cona
Restauration of the Holy Sacrament's Cona made by Antonino Gagini in 1551. It shows the dogma of the Eucharist, in the center the chalice and the host surrounded by angels and on the sides scenes from the Gospel according to Matthew with a reading that goes from bottom to top and from left to right.
