Inside Mariano Cassarà's garden (a sculptor), now his heirs' property, you can see the monument (with a fountain) realized in 1990 for the Town of Alcamo and that, after various vicissitudes, postponements and missing payments by all the civic administrations, has remained in the ownership of the artist.
The work faithfully represents the scene of the famous love Contrasto "Rosa Fresca Aulentissima" written in 1240 by Cielo d'Alcamo, considered the first Italian poet who used the vernacular. The central body includes the two bronze statues representing the poet and his beloved; they are surrounded by an artistic marble fountain (travertine, completed with the insignia of Alcamo in the back part of the monument).
In the garden you can also admire other works realized by Mariano Cassarà.
Cielo d'Alcamo, also spelled Ciullo, was an Italian poet, born in the early 13th century. He is considered one of the fathers of Italian medieval jester poetry. His traditional surname has been differently identified by other scholars as Dalcamo. Cielo d'Alcamo and fellow 13th century Sicilian poet Giacomo da Lentini are jointly credited as the inventors of the sonnet as a verse form.
