Join this walking tour in Palermo's historical city center to learn about the Mafia and the civil anti-mafia movement. Discover a city that is finally rebelling against the Mafia's protection racket.
The Teatro Massimo, the open-air market "Il Capo", the Memorial dedicated to prosecutors and judges killed by the Mafia, the Cathedral, the City Hall: every stop is a cause for reflection, a chance to mull over the realities of the Mafia and consider the civic movement against Mafioso power.
Along the tour, you will come across an orange sticker on their windows. Their owners 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!
The tour ends in the heart of Palermo old town center: you will get some tips to continue your visit and to taste the best Sicilian specialties.
