What to expect

  1. Teatro Massimo
    30m
    The opera teathre of Palermo is famous as the location of the most dramatic scene of The Godfather III. Anyway, this monument is also a symbol of the rebirth of the city after decades of Mafia violence.
  2. 10m
    The longest wall painting in Italy (70 meters long) represents some of the most known mafia victims and is part of an urban renovation project. It is both the chance to become familiar with the victims' faces and to shoot some good pictures!
  3. Capo Street Market
    Pass by
    The colorful old open-air market is the perfect place to understand better the relationship between the Mafia and shopkeepers while walking through one of the most interesting and loud areas of the city.
  4. Palazzo di Giustizia
    15m
    Piazza della Memoria, by the Palerm Court House, is a Memorial dedicated to judges and prosecutors killed by the Mafia.
  5. Palermo Cathedral
    15m
    In front of the spectacular Arab-Norman Cathedral, the guide will talk about the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Mafia
  6. 15m
    Along the Cassaro, you will come across with an orange sticker on their windows. Their owners - like this famous gelato place - have said NO to paying the extortion racket, or ‘pizzo’, and have joined the mafia-free critical consumption campaign promoted by the grassroots movement Addiopizzo.
    You too have the chance to stop and support them with some “good” shopping!
  7. Palazzo Pretorio, Municipio di Palermo
    15m
    The City Hall of Palermo has been the seat of corrupted politicians, as well as of the ones who have been fighting against the Mafia.
