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.
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.
