We are a "Museo Diffuso," which means that Sciacca itself is our open-air museum. Here, every element of the city, including its people with their stories, represents our priceless treasure, ready to be shared with anyone who comes to visit us.
The five gates of the ancient walls serve as entrances to the museum, the streets are the corridors, the squares are the exhibition halls, and the shop windows and house windows are the display cases through which we offer our greatest treasure: our identity.
Three thousand years of history, cultures, and traditions await discovery in the frieze of a palace, in the taste of a dish, in the timeless myths, and in the creations of master artisans. Lose yourself in the colors, aromas, and sounds that express our identity.
You are in an Open-Air Museum.

Pre-Order
In Sciacca, Italy’s 4th largest port, a maritime story flows through our veins—a millennia-old tradition that embraces the grandeur of our fleet and the richness of our catch. And there’s an extraordinary way to dive into this story, which we believe is the best way: doing it in the company of a family that has dedicated four generations to the brilliant bluefish of our sea.
With them, you’ll have the chance to experience an extraordinary journey that follows the rhythm of the sea and nature. You will discover how the fish is processed, salted, and preserved, and you’ll be carried away by the passion and mastery of those who have dedicated their entire lives to this noble art.
But you won’t be alone on this journey. Alongside the Curreri family will be all those men and women who, with strength and dedication, have been doing this work their whole lives. They will share their stories, their experiences, and their deep connection with the sea.
We invite you to join us on this passionate and authentic journey, where each anchovy fillet becomes a piece of Sicily to savor and love. You’ll be part of a millennia-old tradition that still lives and pulses today, and you’ll discover the true meaning of Sciacca, its sea-bound heart.
