Militello in Val di Catania. Civic Museum and Historical Archive “Sebastiano Guzzone” 

The Museum is named after the militellese painter Sebastiano Guzzone (1856-1890) and built inside the former Convent of the Dominican Friars.

The Militello Civic Museum and Historical Archive boasts a precious collection of archaeological finds from the territory (such as the objects found in the Greek necropolis di Filodidonna), paintings, sculptures (including the relief of the Zizza), photographs and archival documents that tell the story and the artistic value of this city rich in beauty.

Among the paintings, there are two portraits of unknown authors by Don Francesco Branciforti and by Donna Giovanna D’Austria. The archive contains all the tenders, from 1600 to the time of the Anglo-American occupation.
