Hotel Villa Romana presents you the symbol of the rebirth of Favara

The history of the Farm Cultural Park in Favara
The seven courtyards
Andrea Bartoli and Florinda Saieva, two fellow citizens who have traveled extensively between Paris, London and their native Sicily, decide to react to this misfortune by creating a reality that could make Favara flourish thanks to art and culture. Not a simple urban redevelopment, therefore, but the realization of a dream. In the then decadent area of the "Seven Courtyards", the Farm Cultural Park project kicks off, a cultural tourist park accessible to all, created with the participation of the inhabitants of the area affected by the building abandonment.
