Galleria Regionale
Palermo's largest art museum, devoted to medieval works, is
housed within the gothic-styled Palazzo Abbatellis (built in 1488).
The collection includes several particularly interesting works. The
Bust of Eleanor of Aragonby Francesco Laurana, for
example, dates from 1471 and is considered to be the epitome of
Renaissance Sicilian sculpture; while the beautiful masterpiece
painting
Our Lady of the Annunciationis considered Antonello da
Messina's greatest work. Also renowned is the chilling
Triumph of Deathfresco by an unknown 15th-century artist
that covers an entire wall.

Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.

The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
