Mappa-mondo. Photographs of ten towns in Sicily

Mappa-mondo. Photographs of ten towns in Sicily, a project by the Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo in collaboration with Palazzo Butera, winner of Strategia Fotografia 2023, brought together six photographers – Giorgio Barrera, Martina della Valle, Sebastiano Raimondo, Moira Ricci, Sandro Scalia, Maria Vittoria Trovato – in ten Sicilian towns (Mazzarino, Santa Lucia, Pietraperzia, Niscemi, Barrafranca, Grammichele, Butera, Raccuja, Militello, Scordia) that were once fiefs of the Branciforte family.

Their work took as its starting point the eighteenth-century paintings of these fiefs held at Palazzo Butera, now home to the great art collection of Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi. The volume also includes photographs of Raccuja by Giovanni Chiaramonte. Texts by Claudio Gulli, director of Palazzo Butera, Monica Maffioli, historian of photography, and Roberta Valtorta, historian of photography and curator of the project.
