Description
Welcome to Naro, the “Fulgentissima” as Frederick II fondly called it, and the Italian Capital of Culture for 2025. We are in the province of Agrigento, just a few kilometers from the Valley of the Temples and the stunning Sicilian coastline. This charming town showcases one of Sicily’s highest expressions of Baroque architecture, with its monuments, churches, and palaces delighting residents, tourists, and lovers of culture and design alike.
Here lies Palazzo Morillo, an 18th-century Baroque building nestled between the town’s main street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and Via Specchi and Via Riolo. What we’re visiting today is the piano nobile of this historic residence—an exquisite example of 18th-century Baroque and one of the town’s most prominent and elegant palaces.
Entry is through a carved wooden door on Via Riolo, leading to a majestic marble staircase adorned with arches and columns that brings us to the main floor. This level features eight spacious rooms, a kitchen, and service areas. The building’s exterior façade is adorned with seven balconies resting on stone bases, all enriched with refined moldings, friezes, and decorative elements.
An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where we find another service room and a stunning terrace with views over the picturesque historic center and the sea beyond.
This historic residence spans over 400 square meters. Moving from room to room is a unique experience, where the carefully crafted ceramic floors—each space displaying a distinct pattern or optical effect—lead the way, while your gaze is drawn upwards to the high, frescoed ceilings. The atmosphere is one of sophistication and elegance, inviting you to relive the grandeur of times past.
Stucco, plasterwork, and baroque details follow you from one room to the next, as does the light, seemingly chasing you thanks to excellent exposure on three sides and large windows that flood the space with warm, natural light throughout the day.
The property is unoccupied, can be subdivided, and requires renovation—except for the roof, which has been completely replaced in recent years.
This is not simply a house to fall in love with—it is one that commands respect for its noble and ancient heritage. Restoring its magnificent floors, reclaiming the period woodwork, and reviving its frescoes to their original splendor is not just a possibility, but a tribute.
Given its central location, generous dimensions, and inherent character, the choice is yours: a prestigious luxury residence? A charming hospitality business? A one-of-a-kind event venue?
One thing is certain: your new home comes with a message of hope and blessing, engraved in stone beneath the grandest balcony—“Long live Divine Providence, 1790.”
