About the Event
Controlled by the Normans, Sicily and its capital Palermo became a showcase for Europe where different traditions lived together peacefully. This cultural syncretism combined Islamic, Byzantine and Romanesque artistic elements, with the aim of displaying multiculturalism as an exhibition of power.
