Serpotta's Masterpieces: A 2 Hour Morning Tour

Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of three different but equally enchanting masterpiece works by the great Palermitano Baroque stucco sculptor Giacomo Serpotta. Hailed as "one of the greatest European sculptors of the 18th century," and "a meteor in the Sicilian sky." His delightful artistry has been beloved for centuries and is still awing viewers today.

On this tour, we will explore why Serpotta isn’t as well-known as Michelangelo. We will delve into the meanings of the tableaux in his signature teatrini (little theaters), his artistic techniques and innovations, and the mysteries surrounding him.
Our tour guides specialize in storytelling, bringing Serpotta’s masterpieces to life with captivating tales and expert commentary, including the ongoing mystery of the heist of the Caravaggio Nativity from the Oratory of San Lorenzo, and the recent almost miraculous replacement of that missing masterpiece.
