HISTORY
Palazzo Ajutamicristo takes its name after Guglielmo Ajutamicristo, baron of Misilmeri and Calatafimi, who had it built for his family between 1495-1501.

A banker of Pisan origin, he had grown wealthy over a few decades trading in Sicilian cheese and cereals. Tired of his castle in Misilmeri, he had long wanted to build a "Domus Magna", which would reflect his wealth and which would serve as an ornament for the city of Palermo.

 The opportunity arose when the distinguished architect Matteo Carnilivari came to Palermo. He was entrusted with the building of the Palazzo on the road to Termini Gate (amongst other important buildings, such as Palazzo Abatellis, which is nowadays the Regional Art Gallery).

 CATERING
Bristol Catering & Banqueting was born as a catering company in Palermo in April 1998 from the extraordinary passion for the high gastronomy of Mr. Giuseppe La Rocca who, encouraged by the very valid collaboration of its members, has given a decisive turn to the already lucky thirty-year career that had made him famous in the field of local catering.
