WHO WE ARE

BECOME A MEMBER

Every private space is realized only in hospitality.
And thus it becomes public.
Every public space is realized only in the encounter between people.
(Fabrice Hadjadj)

Grotte del Caricatore is a space/museum where you can spend time, share special moments with friends or simply feel good.

Events, moments of sharing and connection are fundamental for us: they are what realize our space and make it come alive.

And it is from this thought that Grotte del Caricatore was born, more than just an event location, a lounge club, a unique environment in which to work, organize conferences and meetings, present a book, enjoy and appreciate original musical and theatrical moments, discover and experience products of traditional and international cuisine, a flexible space designed to adapt to every need.

Here everything becomes an experience, an inspiration.

Grotte del Caricatore is a social promotion association located inside the ancient and best-known grain pits, carved into the solid rock, which made up the medieval Caricatore of Sciacca.

We conceived this Space as a place dedicated to inspirations, ideas and cross-contaminations that move our imagination and our creativity. Here we will tell you about what we like and what fills our daily spaces with value, in the hope of passing on ideas and suggestions that you can make your own.

To participate in the events you must acquire member status; being a member does not entail any legal or fiscal obligation, but it is the conditio sine qua non to experience our activities, enjoy the space tailored to you, receive our schedule in advance, and be able to book your participation in events ahead of time.

ANCIENT CAVES OF THE LOADER

Sciacca owes everything to the "caricatore": these were the warehouses where grains were stored while waiting to be loaded onto ships anchored in its port, the famous "blond gold" that made the city rich and sought after in the Middle Ages.
Originally, they were probably cave dwellings or tombs, later transformed into hypogean environments, and then used as grain pits. They were dug into solid rock and had the characteristic "inverted funnel" shape, with access from above, connected by tunnels called "cannoli".
