A Palace in Sicily

“A jewel of Baroque architecture, the Castelluccio Palace is the spotlight of a beautiful book retracing its history, its long restoration and its precious ornaments. These photographs reflect the Sicilian Golden Age.” - Fanny Guenon des Mesnards, AD France“This monograph is an invitation to visit the Palazzo Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio.” - Italian Vogue“The three-year restoration of the 18th-century Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palace is documented in Remilleux’s new book A Palace in Sicily: A Masterpiece Restored (ACC Art Books, $55). The majority of the book is devoted to Mattia Aquila’s photographs of the lovingly resurrected interiors, architecture and gardens, prefaced by “before” pictures of the rooms as Remilleux discovered them, still dignified despite their decay.” - Amy Bradford, Architectural Digest Middle East“A Palace in Sicily: A Masterpiece Restored by Jean-Louis Remilleux (published by ACC Art Books) is a photographic journey documenting the splendour of the palace.” - Angelina Villa-Clarke, Forbes“In the new photo book “A Palace in Sicily: A Masterpiece Restored”, the French TV producer and presenter opens the gates to his recently completed, dreamlike estate in the small Sicilian town of Noto.” - Von Marius Thies, AD Germany“A Palace in Sicily: A Masterpiece Restored doesn’t just pull back the curtain on the finished palace, it details the four-year-long process through an elaborate array of photos, starting with the installation of the towering palm trees on the palazzo’s grand entrance that welcome guests.” - Architectural Digest
