Sicily is filled with delicate pieces of art always where you least expect them.
You will find intricate statues in dusty churches, decaying statuettes in the nooks of decrepit Palazzi.
Fine art is always a surprise even if it is so terribly neglected by a country which is overburdened by an aesthetic abundance, sadly without the ability to maintain it.
These two grotesque Baroque details were hidden above the entrance to a pharmacy at Noto in the province of Siracusa. I’m not sure how many people actually notice them while entering inside without looking up to see them.
A golden rule when you visit Italy, always remember to look up, otherwise you might miss a beautiful detail.
