MUSEUMS
MUSEO MIRABILE
Inaugurated on 1 July 2000 , the Museum is a private structure, born from an idea of ​​its owner, Rag. Salvatore Mirabile.
Since he was a boy, he was fond of folkloric songs of his land (in fact right inside the museum we find a collection of known Sicilian songs and others composed by the same), when he sang in public he made use of a scenography made up of ancient objects.
From there, the search for objects of the past that reminded and recall our peasant traditions, as well as the arts and crafts, starts.
Open Saturday and Sunday: 10am to 1pm

MUSEO DEGLI ARAZZI FIAMMINGHI
The Museum houses eight magnificent Flemish tapestries , donated to the Mother Church in 1589 by Mons. Antonio Lombardo who probably received them as a gift from the Queen of Spain .
The tapestries were made with an elegant intertwining of finely colored wool and silk threads, with a vertical wool warp, by the Brussels tapestry maker Cornelis Tons, active between 1550 and 1575, on cartoons by the Flemish painter Peter De Kempeneer who worked in Italy following Polidoro da Caravaggio.
Inside frames adorned with flowers, fruit and allegorical figures, they depict eight scenes from the Judeo-Roman war for the conquest of Jerusalem , fought by Vespasian and his son Tito, as described by Josephus in De bello Judaico.
