Lonely Planet review

In the 17th-century Oratorio del Rosario di Santa Zita you can see some of Serpotta's breathtaking stuccos. Indeed, this is where his work is at its best. The real masterpiece is the elaborate Battle of Lepanto on the entrance wall, depicting the Christian victory over the Turks, a scene that is framed by stucco drapes held by hundreds of naughty cherubs who were modelled on Palermo's street urchins.
