Villa Piccolo is a historic residence located in Capo d'Orlando that preserves the cultural and artistic legacy of the Piccolo di Calanovella family. Surrounded by a large garden filled with Mediterranean and exotic botanical species, the villa is a place of great interest for 20th-century Sicilian history, literature, and art.
Transformed into a house-museum, it houses furnishings, artwork, book collections, photographs, and documents that bear witness to the life and intellectual work of brothers Lucio and Casimiro Piccolo. Today, the complex hosts cultural initiatives, exhibitions, and events that contribute to enhancing one of the most significant cultural heritages of contemporary Sicily.
