MADONIE SOTTO LE STELLE "RAFFO PROJECT LUNA" 2012

This LUNA PROJECT RAFFO "sotto the stelle" was begun in 2012 and is set to continue 24 / 7 through-out 2013 and possibly for even longer.  The RAFFO observer shown in the photograph is facing towards the nearby high mountainside above which the moon very often very massively and really beautifully rises. And in the very far distance on the right hand hillside ridge can just be seen a row of small dwellings originating from the MUSSOLINI era.  MADONIE SOTTO LE STELLE is certainly an intriguing place.  There is far more to RAFFO than a very large SALT MINE and various very enjoyable summer festivals.  If you visit Sicily and the MADONIE GEOPARK make an excursion to RAFFO.  
Reminder - there IS more to Sicily
than CORLEONE and the MAFIA.


This photo shows local "Madonie Sotto Le Stelle" 
enthusiasts in session in August 2012.
These folk are into "life changing experiences" -
their phraseology.
