An exclusive invitation: Franca Florio in the Olivuzza garden will welcome guests to her home, the Villino Florio. The Villino is not only the Art Nouveau building par excellence in Palermo, but it is above all an architecture that tells the taste of an era and a family that made Palermo great: the Florios. It will be Donna Franca herself, in period costume, who will tell how she became the “queen” of Palermo, her marriage to Ignazio, her relationship with her children and with her brother-in-law Vincenzo, a lover of painting and high-speed racing. This is a not-to-be-missed event that will allow visitors to learn about the history of the Lions of Sicily through the words of one of the main protagonists of the Belle Époque, who will guide participants through the secrets of a family that left the island an unprecedented legacy, from its peak to its decline.
