The "Casa del Nespolo" Museum, located in Aci Trezza, is an exhibition space dedicated to Sicilian folk memory and culture, closely linked to the world narrated by Giovanni Verga. The building, made famous by the novel *I Malavoglia*, preserves and recounts aspects of the daily life of 19th-century fishing families, offering an immersive journey into the village's maritime tradition.
The museum houses period objects, testimonies, and reconstructions that illustrate the customs, professions, and environments of the Trezza community. The Casa del Nespolo thus represents an important cultural and literary reference point, helping to enhance the connection between the region, its history, and the great Verist narrative tradition.
