Danilo Dolci wasn’t Sicilian, but he spent most of his life in Sicily and earned the nickname “the Italian Gandhi.” He lived in Trappeto, where he is also buried. Trappeto, a small town in the province of Palermo, is about 38 miles (60 kilometers) from the city.

It boasts a beautiful beach along the Gulf of Castellammare and has been chosen as a filming location for several movies featuring acclaimed directors and actors. One of the most notable films shot in the area is I cento passi, starring Luigi Lo Cascio, which tells the story of Peppino Impastato.
