Every year, the village of Pettineo celebrate its unique arts festival. For a few days each summer, artists from all over Europe gather at this village near the north coast of Sicity to enjoy the creative atmosphere. During their stay, the artists get together with the local people to paint a one-kilometre long picture that runs the length of the high street. Once the painting is done, each visiting artist joins a local family for a big lunch and, in exchange for the meal, the family receives the section of the painting that the artist has painted. As a result, though few villagers are rich, almost every home has at least one painting by a well-known European artist. Visitors to the village are eagerly invited» into homes to see these paintings.The festival was the idea of Antonio Presti, a local businessman who set it up several years ago. Since then, Pettineo has become a sort of domestic art museum in which any visitor can ring a doorbell, go into a house and admire a painting.
