Luigi Pirandello's home Casa
Natale in the Caos district of the Sicilian city of Agrigento
will reopen on the 150th anniversary of the writer's birth,
which took place at his house in 1867.
After renovation work that lasted just a few weeks with a new
didactic setting, Casa Natale will be welcoming President Sergio
Mattarella for an official visit on July 6.
A major reorganization project will be mainly funded by the
State through the so-called 'Pact with the South'.
Events at the museum are part of initiatives for the
celebration of Luigi Pirandello's birth promoted by the
Superintendency of Agrigento and the museums of the city.
The home will open at 10 am with "Novelle per un giorno"
(novels for a day), a performance by actor Bruno Crucittu who
will read and interpret passages from Pirandello's novels,
letters and plays until 6 pm.
Actress Isabella Ferrari at 7 pm will continue the reading.
Two exhibits will also be inaugurated after the
reorganization of material on display at the museum.
The shows are: "Viaggio tra identità e memoria attraverso i
dipinti della famiglia Pirandello" (Voyage between identity and
memory through the paintings of the Pirandello family), by
Agrigento cultural superintendent, Gabriella Costantino, on the
ground floor; and "Luigi Pirandello. Informazioni sul mio
involontario soggiorno sulla terra" (Luigi Pirandello,
information on my involuntary sojourn on earth) by Armida De
Miro, Cristina Iacono and Stefano Milioto, on the first floor.
