A noble palace still "alive", an authentic jewel set in the heart of ancient Palermo. Looking at it from the outside, you don't need a great imagination to be able to imagine how splendid it is inside. In Piazza Croce dei Vespri, in the Kalsa district, the main facade of Palazzo Valguarnera Gangi stands out in all its grandeur, which due to the great magnificence of its rooms and the complete preservation of the interior furnishings, can be considered one of the most representative of the late Palermo Baroque.
You will enter from the portal, with two columns in gray stone and with the coat of arms of the Mantegna family, princes of Gangi, which introduces the magnificent porticoed courtyard, one of the most beautiful of the Palermo palaces, from here the original entrance hall with several ramps begins , which leads to the large vestibule which has the proportions of a real hall, here the richness of the decorations, the refined beauty of the ornaments and the polychromy of the marbles make this palace a luxurious and princely location. So particular that Visconti wanted to shoot the unforgettable sequence of the dance in the film "The Leopard".
