Favignana island, "Mattanza" of the Tuna. Trapani Sicily.
The island of Favignana of the Egadi archipelago, off the coast of Trapani in Sicily, is an island of fishermen, fabulous sea and it is all built with tuff stone dug in the same island. Every year in May the "Mattanza" of the Tuna takes place, It is an ancient rite of great pride where man is in competition with Tuna. Arriving at the so-called death chamber, the Tuna fish are hoisted aboard the boats, the sea is tinged with blood red, the scene at least the first time appears very bloody.
