The fortified 19th century Silvestri farmhouse of Poggio Castel Granieri is situated in the Calatino agricultural area, 15 km from Caltagirone and 75 km from Catania.
The farmhouse was the first inhabited settlement which, a few dozen years later was to become the rural and agricultural village of Granieri, now one of the most advanced areas for the production of eating grapes.

The small but productive town of Granieri has about 400 inhabitants and is part of the Council of Caltagirone, a historical artistic city, famous for it’s longstanding ceramic craft tradition.
This fertile artistic context has subsequently hosted the research and dissemination of the photographic medium thanks to the establishment of the Photo-gallery A.N.A.F " Luigi Ghirri " and the " Museo della Fotografia Storica e Contemporanea“
