PRINCE OF CAMPOREALE PALACE

Inside the Baglio, ancient and imposing building heart of economic and social life of Camporeale since 1500, is located the Palace of the Jesuits, which became, then, residence of the Prince of Camporeale, which now houses, next to the Municipal Library and Wine Cellar, the Museum Camporeale.

 

The museum, designed as a multicultural center destined to be the nerve center of cultural activities, but also for the communication and promotion of productive of Camporeale; welcomes the Picture Gallery Anselmo, the Antiquarium Camporeale and a collection of ethno-anthropological discoveries.

 

The Picture Gallery Anselmo, inaugurated in March 2011, the permanent exhibition dedicated to Antonio Anselmo welcomes a significant portion of the works donated to the City of Camporeale by the artist recently passed away and considered the master of the 'petrification'. Landscapes that hide women's faces and bodies petrified: mermaids and nymphs emerged from the waters of the sea that are integrated with the walls of beautiful caves, turning into stalactites and stalagmites.

 

The Antiquarium Camporeale, recently inaugurated, collects archaeological discoveries find in the countryside surrounding the village: loom weights, oil lamps, fragments of millstones and amphorae, mosaics, Elymian decorated ceramics that attest the everyday life of the ancient Makella, a settlement built in the eighth century BC and conquered by the Roman consul Caio Duilio during the first Punic War.

 

The home life and work in the fields of Camporeale of the early 900 are related by a series of furnishings and antique farm tools: testimonies of daily life that can only enchant the visitor and make him think of styles and rhythms of life now lost, but that can still teach so much.
