Along the corridor and in the main hall of the museum there are some works created by the sculptor, painter and ceramist Enzo Assenza. He is Modicàn of origin, but Roman by adoption. He was born in Pozzallo in 1915. He was the inventor of a new method for processing metallised ceramics. With this material he made the monumental absde for Hartfort Cathedral in Connecticut (it is the largest ceramic bas-relief in the history of art). Among his most important works we remember the statue of Justice located in front of the Palace of Justice of Bari and the equestrian monument of the homonymous hero of Lebanon placed in one of the main squares of Beyrut. There are also works in the Congo, in the Philippines, in Buenos Aires, in Messina.
In 1999 the Municipality of Modica established a gallery named after him, which can now be visited in the Modica Civic Museum.
