Overview
A walking tour through Palermo’s Kalsa and Vucciria districts, where striking social and urban transformations reveal the city’s ongoing efforts in regeneration and resistance to mafia influence.
We begin at the Addiopizzo Committee headquarters, a former mafia property turned into a cultural hub, a vibrant space that now serves young people, families, students, and travelers from across the globe. From there, we walk to Piazza Magione, a restored green space that hosts street education initiatives for youth in the neighborhood. Then we visit the workshop of a local artisan, and we take a break in the small square facing the Antica Focacceria San Francesco, whose former owner was one of the first in Palermo to publicly denounce mafia extortion.
Leaving the Kalsa, we enter the area around the old Vucciria market, an evocative mix of street art, crumbling buildings, and newly restored façades. We end our tour at Maravigghia, a hospitality hub and much more, where we’ll share a glass of wine and taste local specialties with the passionate people behind this unique place.
