Monte degli Ulivi

Monte degli Ulivi consists of six modernist structures with white concrete roofs and natural stone walls situated on a hillside in southeastern Riesi.

The complex was constructed between 1963 and 1966 under architect Leonardo Ricci's design to establish a Waldensian Church outreach center in Sicily.

The facility includes a community house, nursery school, elementary school, mechanical vocational school, library, and family residences for educational and social programs.

Visitors can explore multiple buildings spread across the property, including agricultural areas with olive trees, almond groves, and vegetable gardens.

The architectural design combines organic curved roofs made of white-plastered concrete with raw stone walls that integrate naturally into the Sicilian landscape.
