The Emilio Greco Museum is located in the center of Catania and is located in the historic Palazzo Gravina Cruyllas. The Museum was inaugurated in the nineties by the Catania artist Emilio Greco, to whom the same museum is dedicated. The palace originally belonged to Gravina Cruyllas, one of the prominent families of the seventeenth century in Catania. Even today you can admire the coats of arms and the small chapel of the family at the entrance. The collection includes 150 etchings and lithographs, of which a series of great interest called the “25 Farewells”. The artist searches for the nuances of the tormented detachment between man and woman. Works with classical references and in particular to Catullus are exhibited, including: Nausicaa, Arethusa, Euriclea, Medea, Sappho, Metamorphosis, Nymph and Faun and the Return of Ulysses. In the exhibition spaces there are other sculptures and drawings by artists other than Emilio Greco, such as the sculpture by Hidetoshi Nagasawa "The Golden Boat". Many of these works were donated to the museum by the Greek artist's relatives.
