Palermo's Modern Art Gallery is hosted by the exquisite Palazzo Bonet (located next to Saint Ann church) and exhibits artworks from the 19th and 20th Century.
It's a good opportunity to admire masterpieces from various modern art currents that alternated in Italy at the beginig of 20th Century, including Futurismo, Novecento, Arte Povera and Metaphisical Art among others. There's also a hall dedicated to Sicilian Novecento, for a more local flavor. The exhibition is well organized and starts in opera style with the dramatic painting "I Vespri Siciliani" by Erulio Eroli.
The gran-finale is ensured by masterpieces signed by Guttuso, Pippo Rizzo and Sironi.
The only downside during my visit was the lighting of the gallery, which was very poor in some of the halls, ironically in the ones displaying the bright Lojocano's landscapes.
Gallery's bookstore worth a visit as well.

Locals say that it is not like it used to, but for a tourist, especially in the timetable of the meal, it is definitely worth visiting. It has become a place for street food, but it remains very suggestive. I among the various possibilities I decided to taste the legendary sandwich with the spleen of Rocky ..... yummy.

Silvia and her colleague are two wonderful, affable people! I had a great time. The B&B is very central. For their part, there was the maximum availability even at a time when, unexpectedly, the fever occurred, they allowed me to stay a few more hours in the room compared to the departure time. Thank you very much. I hope to see you soon. Ruberto Concetta (NA)

I attended a presentation of paintings with the presence of the artist and many small collateral events that made the evening memorable. The outdoor space allows you to be outdoors even without losing what happens inside this beautiful and modern showroom

This place is fantastic all round, great coffee/music/drinks/food/atmosphere and people❤️
the breakfasts in the morning are spot on -you get a decent coffee done the way you want plus a freshly pressed orange juice + a granola/rice with yogurt and lots of fruit... or a croissant/sweet. All for very cheap!
The bar of a nighttime is really superb as well... great live music and very well curated background music also. The seating is just right -with enough room to stand around and at the bar also. The drinks are all done to a very very high standard too but no where near as pricey as some spots
The outside space is a real asset and works perfectly with the venue.
The people who run this bar are also really really wonderful!!! Its a lovely vibe and full of nice locals and tourists who know how to be good and do good. 10/10
Its cool to work out of also ;)

Great place to have lunch with family and to go out at night with friends! Good night life, very diversed people and you will always find food. Alcohol is ridiculously cheap. Try palermitan "sangue".
