Thanks for these photos and the evocative words. This palazzina is the first place I want to go when I visit Palermo, hopefully next year or the year after.
A wonderful place. For years it seemed to lay unopen to the public. I used to pass it as a child on summer holidays in the 80s/90s (my late grandparents’ home is nearby) and wonder what it was like inside. I was there last Easter and was really impressed. (In typical Sicilian style, after my idyllic visit I waited over 90 mins for a bus that never turned up to get back to where I was staying).

Funnily enough, I was lucky with the bus. One takes the 101 to the Stadium, penultimate stop, and then cross the road for any bus heading north.
Oh yes I'm familiar with the good old 101! I'll be reunited with it this Easter again!
Wow, the Palazzina is indeed a beautiful spectacle and obviously worth waiting ti see, I’m very happy you were not disappointed.
I feel as though I’ve been there! Thank you.
