Villa Zito, Picture gallery in Via della Libertà, Palermo, Italy
Villa Zito occupies an 18th-century palace containing over one thousand artworks, featuring Sicilian-themed paintings from the 17th to 20th centuries.
The building started as a rural house owned by Gaspare Scicli, then passed to Prince Antonio La Grua before merchant Francesco Zito purchased it in 1909.
The collection includes works by Bernardo Strozzi, Mattia Preti, Ettore De Maria Bergler, and Renato Guttuso, representing different periods of Sicilian artistic expression.
The facility contains exhibition areas, a cafe with indoor and outdoor spaces, a bookshop selling art catalogs, and spaces for corporate events.
The gallery divides its collection into three sections: Baroque paintings, nineteenth-century Grand Tour landscapes, and twentieth-century cultural narratives.
