Villa Zito
Via Liberta, no. 52
It is located in the premises of the eighteenth-century Villa Zito.
Since 1991, the Mormino Museum has been owned by the Banco di Sicilia Foundation and since that year Villa Zito has also been the headquarters of the same banking foundation.
The museum includes a large collection of ceramics of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a numismatic collection, with an adjoining library and an area dedicated to Philately, where there are ancient prints dating back to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, geographical maps, ancient postage stamps and plans of Sicilian cities from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century. There is also a picture gallery with hundreds of Italian nineteenth-century paintings, with works by great artists of the time, such as Lojacono, Catti, Leto, De Maria Bergler and others. Inside the Museum, there is also a collection dedicated to Futurism and a room with the main works of the painter Michele Dixitdomino. In 2009, following a private donation, the museum's picture gallery was enriched with a hundred works of art already belonging to the Cuccio-Alesi collection, in which works by Boldini, Zandomeneghi and De Nittis stand out.
