Tour Details

We'll meet at the scheduled time in front of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, at Piazza Guiseppe Verdi, to start a tour dedicated to civil mobilisation against organised crime.

After observing the Teatro Massimo, we'll head towards Piazza Beati Paoli, linked to a secret sect mentioned by Luigi Natoli. We'll analyse the connection between the sect and Cosa Nostra and continue to the Mercato del Capo, which is said to have hidden paths used by the Beati Paoli.

Our next stop will be the Piazza della Memoria, where we'll see the memorial for the magistrates killed by the Mafia. We'll then proceed to Palermo Cathedral to discuss the relationship between the Mafia and the Church, including the story of Don Pino Puglisi.

Passing by the Town Hall, formerly a symbol of the link between Cosa Nostra and politics, we'll go to Piazza Magione, in the Kalsa district, where Falcone and Borsellino grew up.

Along the way, we'll observe the logo of the critical consumption campaign "Pago chi non paga," displayed in shops resisting the racket, supported by the Addiopizzo Committee.

The tour will conclude after 3 hours at the Fontana Pretoria.
