Giacomo Serpotta Guided Tour
Tour Itinerary: Explore Giacomo Serpotta's Masterpieces
At the scheduled time, we'll meet up at the Oratory of San Lorenzo to embark on a journey that will lead us to admire some of Palermo's most significant Baroque churches, with a special focus on those adorned by the skilled hand of Giacomo Serpotta, a renowned Sicilian sculptor whose profound legacy is woven into the city's fabric.
Did you know Giacomo Serpotta, born in Palermo, is considered a precursor to the Rococo style? Our exploration of his art commences at the Oratory of San Lorenzo, nestled within the Convent of San Francesco d'Assisi.
Here, we'll marvel at the stucco sculptures crafted by Serpotta, each characterized by remarkable realism and intricate details. Depicting crucial chapters of St. Lawrence's life, allegories of Christian virtues, and a multitude of cherubs, these creations are sure to captivate your imagination.
Our journey continues with visits to the Oratories of Santa Cita and San Domenico. As we unveil Serpotta's distinctive style within these intimate spaces of devotion, we'll delve into the profound significance these places held for congregations. The Battle of Lepanto, mysteries of the rosary, and Old Testament narratives take center stage in the sculptural adornments of these sanctuaries.
After a three-hour exploration, our tour concludes in Piazza San Francesco.
