In 1737, the prince asked permission from the Palermo Senate to build a terrace on the Strada dei Cattivi, which was actually built in 1750. In this way the palace was recognizable from the sea, like the Royal Palace in Naples. The Brancifortis had suppressed a public space, according to a dynamic of appropriation typical of the time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

In 1759, a fire broke out in Palazzo Butera. The following year,\u00a0Ercole Michele buys the next door palace from the Moncada. Thereafter Palazzo Butera takes on today\u2019s dimensions including the two courtyards. Between 1762 and 1764 Gioacchino Martorana and Gaspare Fumagalli paint their frescoes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Salvatore Branciforti inherits the prince of Butera title. Between 1765 and 1766 new teams of artists decorate the interiors of Palazzo Butera, under the supervision of the architect Paolo Vivaldi. The team includesthe woodcarver Girolamo Carretti, the painters Gaspare Vizzini and Gaspare Cavarretta, and the plasterer Francesco Alaimo. The prince moves\u00a0to Naples to pursue his career at Court. He returns to Palermo thirty-three years later, shortly before his death.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

During the last 30 years of the 18th century, Salvatore Branciforte’s son, Ercole Michele Branciforte e Pignatelli, Prince of Pietraperzia, is living in Palermo. \u00a0He is a\u00a0very interesting personality\u00a0and central character in the city’s cultural and political life. <\/strong>\u00a0In 1773 \u00a0he leads\u00a0a rebellion and is incarcerated by Viceroy Caracciolo and in the following year launches\u00a0a hot air balloon from the terraces at Palazzo Butera,\u00a0one year after their invention by the Montgolfier brothers. \u00a0Ercole’s education is formed by the late 18th century’s fascination with archeology and ancient\u00a0artefacts. \u00a0With\u00a0Palermo as\u00a0part of the Grand Tour, visited by\u00a0Goethe and Hackert, introductions to the Prince of Pietraperzia\u00a0are\u00a0much in demand\u00a0and he is visited by\u00a0cultivated travellers, including\u00a0Dominique-Vivant Denon, Jean-Pierre Houel and Friedrich M\u00fcnter.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

In 1799, the Branciforti buy\u00a0the adjacent palace, Palazzo Benso. But\u00a0their male\u00a0line ends in 1814, and Palazzo Butera becomes part of the estates\u00a0of the Lanza family, Princes of Trabia.<\/strong> In 1836, during a trip in Sicily, a young Eug\u00e8ne Viollet-le-Duc draws a sketch of the monumental staircase\u00a0for his study sheets.
