The town
Canicattì (Sicilian: Caniattì) is a city within the province of Agrigento on the Italian island of Sicily. It is located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) southeast of Palermo and about 34 kilometres (21 mi) east of Agrigento.
Canicattì is a city in the Province of Agrigento, very close to the border of the Province of Caltanissetta. It is a largely working-class city with a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars that offer everything from the affordable to the slightly less affordable.
Like much of the rest of the interior of Sicily, infrastructure is poorly suited for tourism for those who don't speak Italian. A traveller would do well to at least pick up a handful of phrases before visiting.

What to see, according to Wikivoyage
Surrounding the city are many family-owned farms that can make for a beautiful drive. However, some of these roads are nearly impassible at times due to poor road conditions and upkeep.
