The goal of the event was to promote cultural awareness of the city and its most valuable artistic heritages. The second objective is the intercultural exchange of opinions and knowledge among international students as well as an opportunity to spend a sunny Sunday together by fostering interaction among Erasmus students. This event is just the latest in a series of “cultural first Sundays” gone on throughout the year by taking advantage of the MIC-promoted initiative of free first Sundays at museums each month we made the initiative completely free.
The day was held in a lighthearted and carefree atmosphere. Taking advantage of the sunny late spring weather, we proceeded as usual to an initial walk at the historic second-hand market in Piazza Marina, after which we went to the Palazzo Abatellis where several works by medieval Sicilian artists, vases and artifacts from the Arab era, paintings from the six and seven centuries, including the most important the Triumph of Death, are on display.
After a short break, back at the market, we went, again in a spirit of total lightheartedness, to the nearby San Lorenzo Oratory to admire some masterpieces by the famous Sicilian sculptor Giacomo Serpotta.
