Syracuse: antoniolupi partcipates in the restoration of the Brucoli Lighthouse that enjoys the best view of Mount Etna.
On the tip of a strip of land where an ancient seaside village of Brucoli is nestled, right next to the fifteenth-century Aragonese Castle, of the Queen Giovanna D’Aragona, we find a unique place that smells of the ocean, of the sun and of Sicily: the Lighthouse of Brucoli.
Within the project "Valore Paese – DIMORE” (“Country Value – Dwelling"), the state property agency has selected important historical, artistic and landscape value assets throughout the national territory to be refurbished and then used for cultural tourism purposes. The Brucoli Lighthouse is one of those.
Dating back to 1911, the Lighthouse has been masterfully renovated by the Itinera Associate Studio: a roof terrace with sublime views of Mount Etna that majestically rises across the Gulf of Catania. Architect Giuseppe Di Vita enhanced the valuable lighthouse of the ancient Brucoli seaside village, but maintaining all the peculiarities of the blessed naturalistic position and improving the architectural characteristics of the structure.
