An evening for the community, to experience the Ventimiglia Castle beyond the usual visiting hours, through research, memory, collections, and contemporary languages.

📖 5.30 PM · PRINCE’S ROOM
Presentation of Sisters. Anna and Giuseppina Turrisi Colonna by Rita Alù, Torri del Vento Edizioni, in dialogue with Camillo Palmeri.
The volume recounts the story of Anna Turrisi Colonna, a painter, and Giuseppina Turrisi Colonna, a poet and writer, figures of 19th-century Sicilian culture who long remained on the margins of historiographical memory.

🌙 8.00 PM – 11.00 PM · CHAPEL OF SANT’ANNA
Visit to the Sacred Art Section and enjoyment of REVELATA, narrated by Isabella Ragonese. In the chapel decorated in 1684 by Giacomo and Giuseppe Serpotta, light and sound accompany the discovery of Baroque decoration.
The visit to the Sacred Art Section, in Italian and English, is curated by members of the Pro Loco of Castelbuono.

🖼️ IN THE FORMER STABLES
It will also be possible to visit MAXIPROCESS of Maria D. Rapicavoli, a project commissioned by the Civic Museum and curated by Laura Barreca and Giovanna Fiume, open from October 4 to November 26, 2026.

✨ A Night at the Museum is an invitation to experience the Ventimiglia Castle, home to the Castelbuono Civic Museum, with different times and perspectives: from the word of research to the subject matter of the collections, from history to contemporary forms.

🤝 In collaboration with Pro Loco Castelbuono APS.
