Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This striking palazzo off Corso Umberto, is up a flight of stone steps, brightly decorated with seasonal flowers and plants. Inside is a free photographic, documentary and multimedia exhibition of the Riace Bronzes – 50 years of history. The 2 full size bronze Greek statues were discovered in 1972, underwater near Riace. These statues were cast in the 5th century BC and today reside in Reggio, Calabria. Here we get to see why this underwater discovery was one of 20th century’s most important archaeological finds

When walking along Corso Umberto, we have always stopped to admire the steps in front of the Palazzo because they are usually decorated with flowers and pots and other displays. When we visited in early June, they were mostly bare. Too bad.

Our B&B was just adjacent to this Palazzo.
It is situated on a very nice and quiet (yet not at night) Piazza where you can have a break and a drink or pastries on a hot summer afternoon.
We just discovered too late that we could get in this Palazzo and see pieces of art.
We missed it and it is regretful.
When you'll walk Corso Umberto from Porta Catania, it is just 100 meters on your right from Piazza Duomo.
I recommend you stop, climb the few stairs and try to enter.
It is well hidden and if as it is written in the other reviews the entrance is free, you have really not much to lose and everything to enjoy.

Interesting free exhibition in a well-restored palazzo which included 17th c graffiti on outside walls. Used to be a night club and featured in a famous film.
