What is a forest made of? The pine forest of Erice simulates naturalness.
The mountain of Erice was once covered with spontaneous vegetation typical of the Mediterranean scrub, with shrubs and drought-resistant plants. What we see today is the result of reforestation efforts begun in the last century.
Like any great garden, everything is poetic: shadows, dry branches, branching forms, and aerodynamic canopies. The exposed stones of the rocky soil are part of the scenery. The rocks simulate water while capturing the moisture produced by humid winds and the condensation that forms during the night.
