Along the way, we won't just look at buildings and monuments: we'll discover the people, ideas and events that have changed the face of the city over the centuries. We will talk about demolitions and rebirths, power and faith, urban expansions, vanished neighborhoods and new identities.

Because Palermo was never built just once. It has been rewritten, century after century.
