A Palace In Sicily
by Jean-Louis Remilleux and Mattia Aquila
Description
A sumptuous “palazzo” unveiled for the first time in this book, and one of the finest testimonies of Sicilian architecture and decorative arts. After the death of the Marquis of Castelluccio, one of the last great Sicilian aristocrats such as those who inspired Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa for The Leopard, his abode was forgotten and started to fall part, like a metaphor for a world that was no more… Half a century later, Jean-Louis Remilleux falls in love with this exceptional 18th century palace in ruins and sets out to restore it. The owner himself guides us through the awe-inspiring rooms full of splendors only Sicily can offer.
