PROJECT TRAPANI

The ArtGeneration Pearl of Trapani

The province of Trapani in Sicily is a gem where culture, history, and nature blend in perfect harmony. Here, the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean meet gentle hills and picturesque villages. The beaches of San Vito Lo Capo, the salt pans of Marsala, and the majestic town of Erice captivate visitors with their unparalleled beauty. In the modern art city of Gibellina, past and present, art and nature merge in breathtaking installations, making the city a cultural highlight. Trapani – a place that enchants both the heart and the senses.

Beatnik Villages - a reminiscence of the beatnik generation

Inspired by the artistic and non-conformist spirit of the beatnik generation, the Beatnik Villages are modern living spaces that reflect the rebellious charm and aesthetics of this era. The architecture combines new buildings with renovated old ones, creating a harmonious interplay of tradition and modernity. The Beatnik Villages are complemented by spacious ecological gardens that reflect the philosophy of a life close to nature and offer space for community and creativity.

The Beatnik Villages combine the art and design of the Beat era with the possibilities of the future. Innovative technologies such as solar energy and e-mobility, smart communication systems and sustainable building materials promote an environmentally friendly way of life and create global networking. The Beatnik Villages are more than just living spaces - they are a living monument to the values of the Beatnik generation and an invitation to celebrate individuality, creativity and community in a modern world.
