Palazzo Valle, a baroque building in the heart of
Catania, houses the Puglisi Cosentino Foundation. The newly reopened first floor now hosts an exhibition featuring works from the Pappalardo collection, while the newly opened top floor showcases installations by Salvatore Scarpitta and Cuban artist Fabelo. The building initially opened in 2009 with the exhibition “Costanti del Classico nell’arte del XX e XXI secolo”, curated by Bruno Corà. After some successful exhibitions, the programming became sporadic, leading to a period of neglect. However, on October 17th, Palazzo Valle reopened with the addition of the top floor, which includes permanent installations by Giovanni Anselmo, Carla Accardi, and Jannis Kounellis. Now, two new rooms feature an installation by Roberto Fabelo and an artwork by Salvatore Scarpitta. These additions, along with the exhibition “Arte in Sicilia nel secondo Novecento, dalla collezione di Filippo e Anna Pia Pappalardo”, curated by Giuseppe Frazzetto, fill a gap in the city’s art scene. The main floor, which is only open for private events, houses artworks from the Puglisi Cosentino collection. The Pappalardo collection, the Scarpitta and Fabelo installations, and the works by Kounellis, Anselmo, and Accardi can be visited in the mornings from Tuesday to Friday and on Saturday afternoons. The entrance fee is 10 euros, with a reduced price of 5 euros.
