The arrival of a new viceroy to Sicily was cause for celebration for the kingdom. When news of a new appointment became known, the local government in Palermo or Messina, depending on which city would be used for the entry, would focus its efforts on showing off the city to its best advantage, constructing obelisks, grandstands and ephemeral architectures along the ceremonial route. In this way, a ceremony of a legal and juridical nature was becoming, especially in the 17th century, a show in which the various actors involved (the church, nobility, the viceroy and the people) played very specific roles. Although viceregal entries in Sicily were not as spectacular as those of the overseas territories, they reflected the character of the kingdom and the interests of its elite, which were particularly symbolic and unique.
