To showcase the rich heritage it guards, PALM has launched a new project to manage five state-owned sites hitherto open only by reservation and for special initiatives: the Complex of Santa Maria della Grotta, the Latomia dei Niccolini, the Hypogeum of Crispia Salvia, the Hellenistic-Roman Necropolis of Via del Fante, and the Roman Insula of Via delle Ninfe.

The initiative was made possible through the Special Public-Private Partnership formula, thanks to which the director, Anna Occhipinti, activated a collaboration with the archaeological cooperative ArcheOfficina, which for the next few years will take charge of them, enhance them and, above all, make them usable.

The aforementioned prestigious sites can thus be appreciated thanks in part to visits by archaeologists and specialists in cultural heritage education.

The enhancement project, authorized by the Trapani Superintendency, won the “Viviamo Cultura” call, promoted by Alleanza Cooperative Italiane, with the support of Cooperative Mutual Funds.

The project will be presented to the community on Friday, October 25, at 11 a.m., with a press conference in the “Famà” room of the Archaeological Museum Lilybaeum.

During the conference, the opening date of the first three sites that visitors will be able to admire (the Complex of Santa Maria della Grotta, the Latomia dei Niccolini, and the Crispia Salvia Hypogeum) will also be announced and will come back to life from Saturday, October 26.
