The Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory in Catania is displaying to the public two historic violins from the Zappalà-Asmundo Collection: a Girolamo II Amati from 1683 and a Matteo Goffriller from 1700. The exhibition is open from 6 August to 31 December 2026 at the venue in via Istituto S. Cuore 3. The transfer of the instruments was made possible by the temporary closure of the Museo Civico di Castello Ursino for renovation works. Visits are by appointment; professional musicians may request to play the violins, subject to prior notice to the Comune.
