Brossura. Etat : nuovo. Fabrizio Serra, 2015, pp. 148 con 33 figure e 11 tavole in bianco / nero n.t. - SUPPLEMENTI A «KOKALOS» Fondata da Eugenio Manni Diretta da Pietrina Anello -- The 'Grotte di Caratabia' are hidden jewels in Sicily's cultural landscape. The incised illustrations (figures of horses and riders overlapping oldest geometric decorations) that run the length of the walls within these two, artificial, rock-cut chambers date most likely to the Archaic period, and they stand among the few examples of true art that can be ascribed to the island's indigenous, Sikel culture. Despite dedicated efforts to preserve their physical integrity, the fragility of the rock structure and the incessant forces of degradation, both by natural and human agency, make it unlikely that they will survive much longer as legible entities. Their complete documentation and interpretive publication, therefore, is an urgent necessity that this monograph seeks to fulfill. The documentation project began as a series of photographic campaigns starting in 2002 that were conducted by the author using both film and digital photographic equipment. The chambers were cut into the slope of a hill just east of the town of Mineo, along a country lane that rises up toward a crest that bears traces of Sicily's indigenous heritage in the form of empty chamber tombs on the face of exposed rock outcrops. Le 'Grotte di Caratabia' sono gioielli nascosti nel paesaggio culturale della Sicilia. Le illustrazioni incise (figure di cavalli e cavalieri sovrapposte a decorazioni geometriche più antiche) che corrono lungo le pareti all'interno di queste due camere artificiali scavate nella roccia risalgono probabilmente al periodo arcaico, e si caratterizzano per essere tra i pochi esempi di arte attribuibili alla cultura indigena sicula dell'isola. Nonostante gli sforzi dedicati a preservare la loro integrità fisica, la fragilità della struttura rocciosa e le forze incessanti di degrado, sia naturali che umane, rendono improbabile che esse possano sopravvivere a lungo come entità leggibili. La loro completa documentazione e pubblicazione interpretativa, quindi, è una necessità urgente che questa monografia cerca di assolvere. Il progetto di documentazione è iniziato con una serie di campagne fotografiche a partire dal 2002, campagne condotte dall'autore attraverso sia studi filmati sia immagini digitali. Le camere sono state tagliate nel pendìo di una collina appena a est della città di Mineo, lungo una strada di campagna che sale verso una cresta che conserva tracce del patrimonio indigeno della Sicilia, sotto forma di tombe a camera vuote sul fronte di affioramenti rocciosi esposti.
