Lachea Island and the faraglioni? Aci Trezza sent on December 27, 2012 (18:10) by Pino Grasso. 10 comments, 4565 views.

at 17mm, 5 sec f/6.3, ISO 100, tripod. Aci Trezza, Italy.

E' un piccolo borgo di pescatori dominato, dalla parte del mare, dai Faraglioni dei Ciclopi le cui masse laviche nere ed appuntite emergono dalle acque cristalline. Nell'Odissea si narra che questi fossero i massi scagliati da Polifemo contro Ulisse che l'aveva accecato lanciandogli un dardo infuocato nell'unico occhio. L'eroe era poi fuggito con i suoi compagni aggrappato al ventre delle pecore del ciclope. Di fianco si erge l'isola Lachea, oggi sede di una stazione biologica dell'Università di Catania. Il porticciolo, invaso dal sole e punteggiato di barche variopinte tirate in secca, sembra popolato dai fantasmi dei personaggi di Verga, la Maruzza e gli altri Malavoglia, che attendono ansiosi scrutando il mare, nella vana speranza di avvistare la Provvidenza con il suo carico di lupini. Ed è proprio ad Aci Trezza che Luchino Visconti decise di girare La terra trema, rispettando l'ambientazione del romanzo verghiano da cui il film è stato tratto. #NightPhotos #Notturno
