The story
The private home of the Federico family, resident here for centuries. The oldest core is the Torre di Scrigno, a 12th-century defensive tower grafted onto the city's Punic walls. The palace grew around it with rooms from the 14th to the 19th century: medieval wooden ceilings, 18th-century frescoes, collections of arms, ceramics and musical instruments. Visits are led by a family member.
