The Story

Where the Luxury of the Past Meets the Present

Every corner of Palazzo Arone dei Baroni di Valentino holds a story—a whisper from centuries past that still speaks to the present. Built in 1555 by the Marquis of Marineo, Don Gilberto Bologni, and later enriched in the 18th century by the Princes of Castelnuovo with extraordinary frescoes and stuccoes, the Palazzo stands as a living testament to Sicilian art and culture.

The Arone di Valentino Family

The beating heart of the Palazzo is the Arone di Valentino family, guardians of a legacy that spans generations. In 1874, Giuseppe Arone acquired the Palazzo, passing it down to his nephew Francesco, who married Donna Marianna Lanza Filangeri, of the Princes of Mirto. Today, Bernardo and Simona Arone di Valentino, along with their children, continue to keep this rich heritage alive.

La Collezione

Walking through the grand halls of the Palazzo is like turning the pages of a living art book—a collection of memories shaped in large part by Donna Marianna Lanza, an erudite and charismatic woman whose treasured gifts have become the soul of the estate. Precious ceramics, letters, and drawings tell the story not just of a revolutionary woman but of an entire era—one that lingers in every detail of the Palazzo.

MORE THAN JUST A PALACE:
A SOUL SHAPED BY THE LOVE OF THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED WITHIN ITS WALLS

  • The Literary Circle

    The Literary Circle

    There was a time when these rooms echoed with words and ideas. It was here, in 1769, that the Conversazioni della Nobiltà—now known as the Circolo Bellini—was born, a gathering place where Italian and foreign gentlemen met for readings and discussions. Among its distinguished guests was none other than Giacomo Puccini, who was received at the Palazzo during the staging of La Bohème.

A Legacy with Its Eyes on the Future

The story of the Palazzo is not confined to the past; it is renewed every day through the passion of the Arone di Valentino family, who continue to welcome guests with warmth and authenticity. Between cherished memories and new experiences, time bends, weaving a seamless connection between yesterday and today—inviting every visitor to become part of a narrative that never ceases to captivate.
