The mermaid

Description

The sugarcanes on the mermaid's shirt are a symbol of the history of Acquedolci, as the town’s name literally means “sweet waters”.

It is said that the land on which the town was built was covered with sugarcane, imported by the Arabs during the period of the Emirate of Sicily, between 831 and 1091.

According to another version, the name "Acquedolci" refers to the numerous freshwater springs in the area.

StreetArt Acquedolci
"Street Art Acquedolci" is an art and tourism promotion event sponsored by the Pro Loco Acquedolci APS Tourist Association to disseminate art throughout the streets of the city center. The first mural in Acquedolci was created in the early 1980s. The organizers subsequently developed a pilot initiative for 2016, with the aim of developing art itineraries and engaging residents and artists, with ever-changing approaches over the years.
