The event

Cannoli siciliani, a specialty of the event.

The race is disputed as tradition, on the hairpin bends of Mount Arcibessi. In recent years the path on Hyblaean Mountains has been slightly lengthened, this extension made the race recognized as a valid race for the Trofeo italiano velocità montagna-sud, Sicilian hill speed championship and Sicilian hill speed championship for historic cars.[1] Also allowing a better and easier use, to those who can arrive from Ragusa, from Modica, from Vittoria from the nearby mountain Municipalities such as Monterosso Almo and Giarratana, but also from other Hyblean areas, in addition to allowing a greater tourist flow.

In Piazza Duomo, to Chiaramonte Gulfi, it is possible to taste typical Sicilian dishes by the local associations that adhere to the initiative (Association Contrada Muti, Association Contrada Piano dell’Acqua and Youth Association of Roccazzo).[2]
