Galleria Bellomo

Fodor's Review:

Siracusa's specialty is papyrus paper. But beware -- most of what you buy is commercially produced, hard, and of inferior quality to the handmade paper, which feels like fabric. One of the best of the few places to buy the genuine article is Galleria Bellomo, opposite the currently closed Museo Bellomo. It's run by an artist who sells cards and paintings and may also give a demonstration of how to make the paper.
