Villa Zito is an 18th-century palace located on Via della Liberta #52 in Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. The structure is now owned by the Fondazione Sicilia and serves as their museum gallery and exhibition space for their collection of artworks, mainly graphic works and paintings, by mainly Sicilian artists from the 17th to the early 20th century. The palace was originally at the site of a large semirural house owned by Gaspare Scicli in the first half of the 18th-century. The chapel and its decorations date to 1762. In the 19th-century, the palace and grounds was sold to Antonio La Grua, prince of Carini. In 1909, it was purchased by the merchant Francesco Zito Scalici. He refurbished and expanded the palace in a Neo-Renaissance style in the early 20th-century using designs by the architect Michele La Cavera. In the 1920s, the palace was acquired by the Banco di Sicilia. The director general of the Bank, Ignazio Mormino, housed here his collection of Sicilian archeology, in what was called Museo Mormino, but these works were moved to the Palazzo Branciforte by 2015.
