Palermo has always been a sought-after destination for many travelers, thanks to its rich past — from Punic remains to Baroque churches, up to the splendors of the Florio era. However, the city also possesses a contemporary soul — contradictory and multifaceted — that blends lyricism, imagery, and disruption, giving rise to a heritage of artists who, through their works, have given new meaning to the genius of Palermo.
This itinerary, conceived by curator and art historian Floriana Spanò, will guide you through the private studios of some of the main exponents of contemporary painting in Palermo, along a walk through the Politeama–Libertà district.
