This is the sentence that sums up the aristocratic vision of the Prince Giuseppe Tomasi of Lampedusa in his literary masterpiece The Leopard. This novel became later a great movie, directed by Luchino Visconti in 1963. Our tour will take you into the inaccessible world of Sicilian aristocracy. We will first see the house where the writer prince of Lampedusa was born, destroyed during World War II. Then they will open for us the doors of Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi, the most important princely palace in Palermo, where the ball scene from The Leopard was filmed. Claudia Cardinale (the heiress Angelica) dances with the Prince of Salina (Burt Lancaster): the old world of aristocracy and the new world of rising wealth meet. This palazzo is an exceptional example in the panorama of Palermo, because it is still preserved intact in its size of more than 80000 square feet and its furniture. Everything is still in place and shows us the pomp and luxury of the Sicilian aristocracy.
The Highlights of my tour: • We will first see the house where the writer prince of Lampedusa was born • Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi Remember, this is just a suggested itinerary, and you can customize the tour based on your preferences and available time. In the museums, in the archaeological sites and in general in all the churches dress code for both men and women requires shoulders and knees to be covered. Shorts and skirts are fine, but below knees. Do not bring large items (e. g. large bags, backpacks, long umbrellas…) on tour because they are not permitted.
