About
L’ex Stabilimento Florio delle Tonnare di Favignana e Formica è un’antica tonnara, tra le più grandi del Mediterraneo. Oggi l'ex Stabilimento Florio è un museo di se stesso che tenta di fare rivivere l’epopea di un passato glorioso attraverso immagini, suoni, filmati ed innovative istallazioni multimediali. Ma è anche luogo ove non soltanto riprodurre la cultura di un tempo, ma produrne di nuova basata sul fervente connubio tra Mediterraneo, mare e società moderna. Un’area destinata ad antiquarium conserva importanti reperti archeologici legati alla Battaglia delle Egadi.

Given that we arrived late (around 7pm and 7.45pm they invite you to go out).
- we are in the middle of summer (August). I think it is normal that with the heat one wants to visit it towards the evening and the times are incompatible with this choice. The last guided tour is at 6.30pm.
- the ticket even without a guide costs 9 euros, a little excessive considering the layout (it is difficult to understand the meaning of certain rooms and the introductory panels are completely missing).

The visit was exhaustive and very interesting for the whole family, including the two children aged 19 and 13.
The guide was excellent and passionately took us into the history of the Florio industry, explaining details and little things that only those who live this history with passion can know.
Applause for the excellent interpretation by the guide of the typical Sicilian songs that were performed during the tuna fishery, truly thrilling!

Establishment and history, fantastic though...
On Sunday, September 1, museums should be free and the establishment is listed on the Ministry of Culture site. At my request, I am answered “at discretion”, moral of the story we paid and also paid the reduced for a 14-year-old when on the same site it says free up to 18 years. Legalized scam!

We visited the tonnara of Favignana our last day on the Egadis. The tonnara is an interesting example of industrial architecture and it has a sea turtles clinic inside the building. Liliana led in a very inspiring visit, where she taught us the almost mystic role of the rais alongside the different phases of tuna production. With the songs she shared with us, it was almost possible to feel the experience of the tonnara and its meaning not only for the industry but for the community as a whole. Absolutely recommended if you are in Favignana!

one of the most engaging visits ever, not for nothing is it the third time I've done it this summer
Enchanted by this island and even more so by its history, perhaps because at the same time I read the books about the Florio family, the fact is that I completely identified with these magical environments
last but not least, an added value was the extraordinary guide Vitalba, who for an hour and a half reeled off stories of real life between the Florio family, the tuna fishery, the glories and the decay of a bygone era
in short, absolutely not to be missed if you come to this magical island ❤️

The tuna fishery is a magical place. An essential stop to retrace the great history of this family originally from Bagnara: the Florios. Ignazio Florio's extraordinary invention on the processing and preservation of tuna was revolutionary and fundamental for the increase in work. Walking around the tuna fishery is evocative and evocative. The only flaw, unfortunately, to be highlighted was the hostility of the caretaker of the sea turtle recovery center who, despite the fact that we had shown our children's interest in seeing at least one species of these turtles on the fly because we were pressed for time due to the 'time to board the mini cruise, she was adamant. And our children were left with a bad taste in their mouths. Well, perhaps greater understanding and more compliance, especially towards children, wouldn't hurt.

A very interesting guided tour! The guide was very good at initially telling us the story of the Florio family and then guiding us through the factory explaining the various phases of fishing and tuna processing. Furthermore, in the establishment there are finds from the First Punic War. Absolutely recommended!

You absolutely must go if you want to know the history of Favignana and Sicily, since the Florio family influenced society, economy and customs for two centuries, throughout Southern Italy. The tour guided by Liliana was enthralling. All the guides on the site are smart but she, with a rhythmic story and a rapid pace, manages to make visitors empathize, with great generosity, to the point of recalling the songs and ways of the "tonnaroli della mattanza", almost like a performance theatrical.

An enchanting place that tells of a rich and fruitful past, built through the foresight and wisdom of the Florio family and its collaborators and employees. A truly interesting visit, with a truly knowledgeable guide (Liliana Lo Bianco) who, with her stories, filled with anecdotes and traditional songs, accompanied us to discover the tuna fishery and the activities that took place there. The hologram room (where the characters who took part in the activities of the tuna fishery tell their experiences) and the rooms which preserve artefacts dating back to the Punic wars are very suggestive. Advised!

I visited with my family the Ex Stabilimento Florio and first of all I would suggest to those who go to Favignana on holiday not to miss this opportunity. It is an amazing interesting and unique place. I suggest to participate in one of the guided tours that are regularly organized at several times in the day. I was lucky enough to meet the Guide Fabio Solina who literally made the difference. Through his expertise and incredible ability to narrate the events of the Florio and Parodi we were able to enjoy an experience that we will always carry with us and will not forget. Visiting Favignana losing this experience would be a shame. Highly recommended!

“Torino”
La video-installazione “Torino”, nasce da un progetto di raccolta di testimonianze orali presentate in forma visiva, condotto tra un gruppo di anziani operai dello stabilimento Florio di Favignana. L’installazione abitata da 18 autori-protagonisti e altrettante pratiche narrative è un’opera tesa a costruire uno spazio entro cui è possibile esplorare dei mondi d’esperienza narrati su celluloide digitale. Microcosmi di pochi secondi che hanno lo spessore semantico di precise memorie. Intensi primi piani, visi tesi, mezzi sorrisi, sguardi. Sguardi fieri, indagatori, beffardi che senza necessità di ulteriori spiegazioni, dispiegano gesti e parole in grado di restituire il senso dei discorsi avvenuti davanti alla telecamera.
