Why this visit is different

A private residence, not a museum

This is not a “standardised” route: you step into a lived-in palazzo, with state rooms and historical layers you can sense—step by step.

The real Caltagirone

Just a few metres from the Santa Maria del Monte Staircase: the palazzo is an integral part of the historic centre, not a stop detached from its surroundings.

A “three-act” itinerary

Striking state rooms, the “Castello” entrance and underground spaces: a clear narrative rhythm that culminates in the most surprising point.

Carefully hosted, limited places

Reservation required. The visit is confirmed once the minimum number of participants is reached: no crowds, no chaos—just attention to detail.
