Palazzo Isnello

There is also a fresco depicting an allegory of The Four Seasons, painted by Francesco Sozzi.

The house, constructed during the 18th century and completed circa 1760, was designed by an anonymous architect for the Counts of Isnello and Princes of Baucina.

In the 19th century the historian Michele Amari lived in the palace until 1843, when he became unwelcome to the Bourbons of Two Sicilies for his autonomist and revolutionary ideas expressed in a published article on the Sicilian Vespers war,[1] and was forced into exile in France.

Since the 1980s the ballroom and other halls and rooms may be hired for functions; the remainder of the house remains a private residence.

In 2006, for the bicentennial of the birth of Michele Amari, the city of Palermo placed a commemorative plaque on the east facade.
