Circolo dell'Unione Catania 1884
Circolo
The Circle of the Union was founded in Catania on December 26, 1884 by the Catania elite, to perpetuate the eighteenth-century “Circle of the Nobles”, known for its many charitable and cultural activities in favor of citizenship, for the Italian and foreign personalities that were guests there and for the “literary salon” that was dramatically burned and looted on the night of Garibaldi’s boarding in 1862.
The Club has always participated in the life of Catania and the Province in its historical, cultural and artistic aspects; it promotes charitable, cultural and social events as well as friendly meetings and hospitality, facilitating relationships with visitors to the City. The Club is a member of the Unione Circoli Italiani (U.C.I.) and has reciprocal agreements with important Italian and foreign clubs.
The headquarters of the Circolo Unione Catania 1884 is located in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Biscari, the most important private palace in Catania, built at the behest of the Paternò Castello Principi di Biscari family, following the catastrophic earthquake of 11 January 1693.
