Conversation Club
Descrizione
The Ragusa Ibla Conversation Club is a fine example of neoclassical architecture, founded in 1830 at the behest of the local aristocracy. Located in Piazza Duomo, the building is distinguished by its elegant façade, characterised by Doric pilasters and bas-reliefs depicting mythological figures. Inside, the sumptuous ballroom features a ceiling frescoed by Tino Del Campo, with allegories of the arts and sciences and medallions depicting Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo and Vincenzo Bellini. The rooms, furnished with original furniture, preserve the atmosphere of the time, offering a glimpse of the social life of the 19th-century Sicilian aristocracy. Today, the Circolo is a private cultural centre, open to the public only through guided tours, which allow visitors to discover its history and artistic heritage.
