This hand-painted ceiling detail is from one of the salons at Villa Ramacca in Bagheria. Villa Ramacca is one of many palace-manors that the Palermo aristocracy built in Bagheria in the 17th and 18th centuries. Originally the home of Bernardo Gravina, Prince of Ramacca, today the villa is a beautiful reception hall that hosts weddings and other parties. My cousin held her wedding reception here in 2010.
