Regalbuto is a municipality in the province of Enna, in Sicily, located in a hilly area overlooking the artificial Pozzillo Lake, the largest on the island. Its strategic position, rich in history that dates back to the Greek era (as shown by the Agira site) and marked by WWII events (Operation Husky), makes it a point of interest for history and nature lovers away from coastal tourist flows. Regalbuto offers an authentic experience of the heart of Sicily, including agriculture, traditions, and lake landscapes.
