Historic dwelling at Montallegro
Palazzo Briuccia
To stay at Palazzo Briuccia is an experience within an experience, it is a dive into the history, the travels, the culture and the lifeblood of the Sicily of yesterday and today. To savour that authenticity, telling us about French nobles, Austrian officials, English merchants and admirals, besides Spanish nobility, a richly detailed history that comes to life at Montallegro, in a little country village between Agrigento and Sciacca. Neoclassical elements are blended with Pompeian and Baroque revisitations, a fondness for the orient joins Anglo-Saxon style, and all in the name of a well-educated and cosmopolitan aristocracy open to new trends in art and fashion.
Sicily has always been a crossroads of peoples and cultures that for thousands of years have left their traces in the culture, cuisine, language and consistently in the architectural styles. Since the time when Sicily was an important colony of Magna Graecia, to the three main stylistic genres of interest for the architecture of the island: Arab-Norman, Baroque, and 19th-century architecture. The artistic expression to be found in the late 18th century and in the 19th century really shows the innovative spirit with which Sicily faced modernity. Palazzo Briuccia embodies this expressiveness of styles and history, a sign of the eclecticism of its owners, rich merchants of Palermo, and the restoration has exalted its forms, colours and themes.
