Guided Tours


Hear the fascinating story of the Caetani family told by one of our Interpreters while exploring select displays of treasured family artifacts in the heritage home. See haute couture, home movies and a selection of Sveva Caetani’s heralded Recapitulation Series.

Discover the intriguing story and legacy of the Caetani family, descendants of Italian royalty. The mysterious and heartbreaking story behind the history of the house and its inhabitants provides a gateway to understanding our recent past, and opens a window to a much different world, shedding light on the many artworks and writings created by our benefactor Sveva Caetani.

Learn why Leone Caetani, an Italian prince and duke, left his royal titles and family fortune behind to move to Vernon, British Columbia, with his young family.

Find out why Sveva and her mother, Ofelia, later went into seclusion in their home for 25 years.

View the first 17 pieces of the detailed and intriguing large-scale watercolour paintings from Sveva Caetani’s Recapitulation series that recall her life’s journey. Thursday, July 17 at 6PM is the last time to see Recapitulation on a Guided Tour before the series is shipped to an exhibition in Rome.
