Lavica Stone Sculpture Museum "Valenziano Santangelo"

The museum was founded by sculptor Nino Valenziano Santangelo, who has been working with lava stone since 1978. It exhibits 306 sculptures depicting myths from the Greco-Roman, cinematic, and literary worlds, as well as figures from Sicilian tradition. The works are intuitively carved from blocks of lava, with minimal intervention. A range of other artifacts highlight the multifaceted nature of lava: volcanic bombs, ash, rope lava, sheet lava, and lapilli.
