On Thursday 8 October 2026, on the occasion of International Dyslexia Day, the Castle of the Counts of Modica in Alcamo will be lit in turquoise. The evening illumination of the monument is the symbolic gesture with which the city joins the global campaign "Uniti per la Dislessia". The initiative, promoted by the Municipality together with AID and Disfam, aims to raise awareness about Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), which affect about 10% of the population. Turquoise was chosen to evoke calm, balance and emotional harmony, qualities that help reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with these disorders.
