Palermo, the melting pot of Europe

I’ll miss everything about Palermo. The people always made me feel at home; it will be impossible to forget my experiences there. - Paulo Dybala, former Palermo FC player Palermo might be the most welcoming place on Earth. Shopkeepers greet everyone with a friendly “Buongiorno.” Restaurants have a laid-back atmosphere that encourages diners to chat across tables, and taverns and markets offer communal dining to let strangers interact.

“Giovanni Falcone – L’uomo che sfidò Cosa Nostra”

“Gli uomini passano, le idee restano.”

Una frase diventata simbolo di coraggio, pronunciata da Giovanni Falcone, il giudice che ha sfidato la mafia nel momento in cui sembrava invincibile.

Tra minacce, isolamento e paura, Falcone non si è mai fermato.

Il 23 maggio 1992 non è solo una data, è una ferita ancora aperta, impressa nella memoria di tutti.

Su quell’autostrada, a Capaci, non è stato colpito solo un uomo, ma un’idea di giustizia, Giovanni Falcone, magistrato simbolo della lotta alla mafia, un uomo che ha scelto di sfidare la paura, di guardare in faccia il potere della mafia e di combatterlo con la forza della legge.

Accanto a lui, una donna coraggiosa, Francesca Morvillo, magistrato e compagna di vita, che ha condiviso fino in fondo quella scelta difficile, e insieme a loro, gli uomini della scorta: Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo, Antonio Montinaro, chiamati servitori dello Stato, silenziosi e determinati, pronti a proteggere Giovanni e Francesca a costo della propria vita.

Questa non è solo una storia di giustizia, è una storia di coraggio, di sacrificio e di memoria.

Una storia che non possiamo permetterci di dimenticare.

So we've been in #Sicily for nine days now, touring the island. We started in Palermo and are headed to Catania tomorrow.
I'd always thought that Sicilian food had a reputation for being a bit spicy, but I have to say, so far, not a sausage, literally, anywhere.
All the seafood you can eat, of course, which means that swordfish and aubergine pasta is everywhere, but nothing with even a touch of chilli.
Any thoughts or recommendations out there?

They sure don't build them like this anymore!

Chiesa del Gesù in Palermo, Sicily, also known as Santa Maria di Gesù, or the Casa Professa ⛪

The Jesuit church is one of the most ornate Baroque interiors in Sicily. Every surface is covered with marble inlays, reliefs, and allegorical figures - angels, saints, floral motifs, and grotesque devils - creating images and narratives that were meant to instruct and move the faithful.

The church has been described as a kind of “bible in marble,” where the battle between good and evil is vividly carved into stone.

Last update on the trip to #Sicily, yesterday we visited #Siracusa and it was another jewel to behold, today we returned to Austria and were greeted by 13°C...
Eastern Sicily was beautiful and there certainly will be another trip to that lovely Island.
