Descrizione
Museum of Memory – Sicilia 1943, located at Via Sorda Sampieri, 46/D in Modica, is a place that preserves and recounts the dramatic events experienced by Sicily during the Second World War.

The museum also offers a section dedicated to the history of the Royal Army and Nazi Germany, allowing visitors to understand the complex dynamics of the conflict in the Sicilian context. It is a place of memory and reflection, fundamental for the preservation of local history.
