"Acragante, Akragas, Agrigentum, Kerkent, Girgenti, Agrigento. With these names 2500 years of history are included. Goethe wrote: it was scarcely possible to be more judicious and fortunate than the Agrigentines were in the choice of a situation for a large city; they were here provided with every requisite for defence, pleasure, and comfort of life;a natural wall, formed by abrupt rocks, presented a strong barrier against assailants; pleasant hills sheltered them on three sides without impeding the circulation of air. ...he's right, everything is magical and misteriuos but the circulation of air!"
