Hauser & Wirth has acquired the 18th-century Palazzo Forcella De Seta in Palermo, Sicily, with plans to convert the historic site into a permanent arts destination. The gallery will oversee a conservation project to restore the architectural features of the Kalsa quarter landmark, which includes Arab-Norman and Gothic influences. The site, previously owned by ANCE and a former venue for the Manifesta biennale, is scheduled to begin its next phase under the gallery's stewardship in early 2026.
