Off Piazza del Popolo is the former home of the poet and scholar Antonino Uccello (1922–79), a museum since 1984. Uccello devoted himself to preserving what he feared was disappearing from Sicilian life, so this is the place to go if you want to see what 18th-century farmers would have worn or how they ground olives to make oil.

The museum houses a traditional stable, bedroom and living quarters. Only 10 people are allowed in at a time, and a custodian will escort you. Ring the doorbell to gain admission.
