It is a museum built entirely around the famous novel "The Leopard" by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Here you can admire, for example, the original manuscript of the work with the corrections made by the author up to the final draft. The writer's letters, notes, documentation and period photos are also displayed in display cases, while multimedia stations bring to life the critical essays and films dedicated to the work. An absolutely new document is the tape with the writer's voice that accompanies the visitor's journey. It is a unique recording, created for fun one morning in 1956, when Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi received a tape recorder as a gift from his adoptive father and, to test its correct functioning, had the idea of recording its voice while reciting one of his stories entitled “Lighea”.
