This religious folk drama is held in a town square, Piazza Umberto 1, where a stage is built with the Hell on one side and Heaven on the other. The script is attributed to a priest of the 18th century from the town of Adrano: Death is killed by the Humanity; Lucifer vents his rage but the Archangel Michael keeps guard. The Diavolata symbolises the triumph of the Good over the Evil.

The finest buildings in Petralia Sottana are the churches. The Cathedral, or Matrice, is baroque outside and neo-classic inside. The main western portal, the cupola and the campanile are fine examples of the rugged, unadorned baroque of Sicilian mountain towns generally. Inside are paintings by Giuseppe Salerno and Gagini.
