We spent a day driving through the Nebrodi mountains of Sicily, following the route of the monumental sculptures of the Fiumara d'Arte, the Stream of Art. The roads, the views, the weather all were spectacular, and the art was pretty cool too. The sculptures were created from the mid 1980s through the early 90s. They are spread out over a large area of remote and twisting mountain roads. We were able to see most of them. Here are the sculptures we saw....
Monument to A Dead Poet, or Window on the Sea....
Matter Could Not Be There.... This one rests just below one of the Autostrada A20 bridges, which is a sculpture in itself....
