In the Heart of Palermo, a World of Cities
Just a few steps from the Quattro Canti in the heart of the Historic Center, Farm in Palermo is housed within the former Convent of the Crociferi with a wonderful Cloister. It will host Countless Cities, the Museum of World Cities, to gain a deeper understanding of the history of cities, considered humanity's greatest invention.
A pochi passi dai Quattro Canti, nel cuore del Centro Storico, Farm a Palermo ha sede nell’ex Convento dei Crociferi, impreziosito da uno splendido chiostro. Ospiterà Countless Cities, il Museo delle Città del Mondo, nato per offrire una comprensione più profonda della storia delle città, considerate la più grande invenzione dell’umanità.

Livable Cities require Peace, Freedom, and Rights
Contemporary wars and authoritarian regimes destroy public spaces, fracture communities, and turn cities into places of fear and silence. This exhibition invites a collective reflection on how the absence of peace, freedom, and human rights makes cities unlivable — leaving behind ruins, both visible and invisible.

A Platform for Change
There’s no magic formula for making a city more beautiful or livable — what feels like a dream to some may be a nightmare to others. Cities are complex, ever-evolving places shaped by diverse identities, needs, and aspirations; this exhibition explores what truly makes a city successful and desirable for its people.
Ex Carcere San Vito Agrigento. Here, where everything seemed to be over, a new story has just begun.
The historic opening of Farm Cultural Park in the former San Vito Prison in Agrigento marks a new chapter in the city’s urban regeneration. Closed for over 30 years, the site has been transformed into a vibrant cultural hub for contemporary art, creativity, and social innovation. Granted in temporary use by the Agenzia del Demanio, the project aims to revive a symbolic space, enrich the local cultural landscape, and attract global creatives and visitors.

Concesso in uso temporaneo dall’Agenzia del Demanio, il progetto mira a restituire vita a uno spazio simbolico, arricchire il panorama culturale locale e attrarre creativi e visitatori da tutto il mondo.

“"One of the greatest joys of traveling and also of life is to come across something unexpected and so wonderfully upsetting, in the middle of what appears to be a desolate place, completely changes the idea of what is possible.”
«Una delle più grandi gioie del viaggio, e della vita stessa, è imbattersi in qualcosa di inatteso e meravigliosamente sconvolgente che, nel mezzo di un luogo apparentemente desolato, cambia completamente l’idea di ciò che è possibile.»
Vesna Marić, Lonely Planet
Miracle in Favara
When everything seemed doomed to collapse, a small Cultural Centre choose art and culture to renew an Historical Centre and to give a new identity and a future to a City with no past nor present.
Quando tutto sembrava destinato a crollare, un piccolo centro culturale scelse l’arte e la cultura per rinnovare un centro storico e dare una nuova identità e un futuro a una città senza passato né presente.
