The Palace is in the heart of the historic Kassaro area,120 meters from the Cathedral 4 minutes walking from the Norman Royal Palace, and several Arab - Norman monuments and enchanting baroque churches. In 1769 the palace housed the "Circolo di Conversazione della Nobiltà" (An exclusive club where aristocrats used to discuss various matters) mentioned by an outstanding sicilian historian the Marquese di Villabianca, for its beautifully decorated rooms. After the marriage of Francesco Arone Barone di Valentino and Donna Marianna Lanza Filangeri dei Principi di Mirto the palace reached its maximum splendor. You can still admire the 17th century wooden coffered ceilings in the bedroom. With the passing centuries, the Arone family has always considered the palace a precious example of artistic beauty and charm.
The Palace is in the heart of the historic Kassaro area,120 meters from the Cathedral 4 minutes walking from the Norman Royal Palace, and several Arab - Norman monuments and enchanting baroque churches.
