Don Franco Cataldi, parish priest of Sampieri, said that the Blue Flag is for Sampieri the testimony of the “care of Creation” and blessed the Flag. “If turtles choose Sampieri for their nests, it means that this is a corner of paradise,” said the priest.

One last point of pride. Of the 14 Sicilian Blue Flags, 5 are in Ragusa.
