A selected exhibition of Spanish textiles from the Treasury of the Palermo Cathedral and the Diocesan Museum of Monreale will be displayed. The sacred insignia, which belonged to illustrious bishops will be reproduced on the photographic panels. In addition to making known this heritage, we offer the possibility of entering into the world of silk weaving.
