Torre de Passeri

This town was once called Turris Passum, named after its Castle's tower which signaled a passage through the valley with fires lit at night. The town is currently a business hotspot, but also hosts artistic initiatives on a yearly basis. An annual painting exhibition, held from September to November in the Mazara-Gizzi Castle, focuses on Dante's Divine Comedy, and presents works by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Blake, Signorelli, Raffaello and others.
