Museo della Fondazione Mormino

Frommer's Review

This unusual, offbeat gallery is on the second floor of the Banco di Sicilia in the historic Villa Mormino. It displays the treasure trove accumulated by banking interests over the years, ranging from artwork to Greek artifacts to rare coins. The collection of Italian majolica from the 16th century to the 18th century is among the finest in Italy; there is also a vast array of Greek vases. Look for the magnificent but tiny Etruscan mirror with a relief of Silenus. Of equal interest is the terra-cotta statue of a young boy, dating from the 3rd century B.C. The final section displays coins and medals, many from the 1200s.
