Today, while Ireland celebrates Saint Patrick (that nation's patron saint), Italy observes its 150th anniversary or, more precisely, 150 years of unification. Leaving aside the controversy this one-time holiday has provoked around Italy - from north to south - the good news for visitors is that many museums and historical sites will be open all day, from 8 or 9 in the morning until 10 (or later) tonight, and admission will be free. That's something to celebrate.Shown: Antonello da Messina's Annunciation in Palazzo Abbatellis, Palermo's Regional Art Gallery in Via Alloro off Piazza Marina.
