The article traces some key passages in the history of environmental protection in Sicily, from the 18th century to the present, with a focus on the post-World War II period and the transition from an industrial economy to one with tourist potential. It analyzes the conflict between development and preservation, using the Zingaro Reserve (area between Scopello and San Vito Lo Capo) as an emblematic case study. The sources include archival documents, contemporary press, specialized studies, and parliamentary acts. The results show how industrialization has disfigured the landscape, the delays in protection policies, and the "Zingaro march" (1980) as a key mobilization that led to the first regional law on parks and reserves (1981), initiating the regional system of protected areas.
Keywords: Environmental mobilisations; Environmental protection; Protected areas; Regional legislation; “Zingaro” Reserve.
