Ariadne’s Labyrinth is an extraordinary work of art located in Castel di Lucio, not far from the Nebrodi Mountains, that recalls classical culture and Greek mythology, a real spiral labyrinth that originates from the myth of Theseus and Ariadne. At the entrance to the work is a female reproductive organ, representing the beginning of a journey to the center of life and self. The labyrinth unfolds in 9 concentric circles, with different symbolic elements representing the different stages of the journey. In the center of the labyrinth we find an olive tree, a symbol of peace.
This evocative artistic path was created by Mantuan sculptor Italo Lanfredini in 1990 for the open-air museum “Fiumara d’arte.” The goal was to create a path between art and culture, uniting two different worlds through the language of art. Since its first moment, Labyrinth of Ariadne has been a great success and has become an important artistic monument in the region.
Admission to Ariadne’s Labyrinth is free and free of charge. The work is always open and accessible.
