The Villa di Patti is located in the homonymous city in the province of Messina. The villa is a suburban residence from the Roman era. During the seventies, numerous exploration excavations were carried out on the residence. The villa has a central courtyard with a portico around which the residential area of the villa revolves. The most representative rooms of the villa consist of an apsidal hall with a portico overlooking the sea. Of great interest is the mosaic of the entrance portico, still preserved today, with laurel wreaths, ornamental and floral motifs. Attached to the archaeological area of the villa there is a small antiquarium opened in January 2001. The exhibition space offers evidence of the material culture of the various living phases of the villa. In particular, the collection includes ceramics, amphorae, figured terracottas, coins, goldsmiths. Marble artifacts such as architectural decorations, a Corinthian capital and a slab with relief representations are also exhibited.
