Overview
Discover Palermo from an authentic and courageous perspective with a no-mafia walking tour that takes you to the beating heart of the city. Walking through the alleys of the Kalsa, one of the oldest neighborhoods rich in stories of civil resistance, you will get to know the places symbolic of change, where citizens and associations have turned memory into daily action. The route continues to the Vucciria, famous for its market and the popular soul that distinguishes it. Here you will be able to grasp the contrast between past and present, between wounds still visible and new energies that animate stores, murals and cultural spaces born thanks to collective commitment against all forms of oppression. Guided by those who live and promote a free Palermo, you will have the opportunity to hear true stories, often little known, that tell of the courage of those who have chosen to oppose mafia logic. The tour concludes with an aperitif based on local products and a multi-voice tale of those who, on a daily basis, work to change their city for the better: a convivial moment to taste typical Sicilian flavors, reflect on the experience and feel part of a community that believes in change. A different, intense and sincere way to meet Palermo.
