Palermo, the capital city of Sicily, is a place where history whispers from every corner and where vibrant culture dances through its streets. Nestled on the northern coast of this Mediterranean island, Palermo stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped its identity over millennia. From ancient ruins to medieval palaces, bustling markets to tranquil gardens, Palermo offers a captivating blend of the old and the new, the familiar and the exotic. To truly understand Palermo, one must delve into its past. The city's history is a mosaic of civilizations that have left their mark, from the Phoenicians and Greeks to the Arabs and Normans. Each culture has contributed to Palermo's architectural wonders, culinary delights, and cultural traditions, creating a unique fusion that is unmistakably Sicilian. One of the most iconic landmarks of Palermo is the Norman Palace, a testament to the island's medieval past. Built in the 9th century by the Arab rulers of Sicily, the palace was later expanded by the Norman kings who conquered the island. Today, it houses the Palazzo dei Normanni, the seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, and the stunning Palatine Chapel, renowned for its exquisite Byzantine mosaics. Palermo's cultural diversity is reflected in its vibrant neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character and charm. From the bustling markets of Ballarò and Vucciria to the tranquil streets of Kalsa and La Loggia, every corner of the city offers a glimpse into Sicilian life. The city's culinary scene is equally diverse, with influences from Italy, North Africa, and the Middle East. Visitors can sample traditional Sicilian dishes such as arancini (rice balls), panelle (chickpea fritters), and sfincione (Sicilian pizza), as well as exotic flavors brought by centuries of trade and conquest. Despite its ancient roots, Palermo is a city that embraces modernity while preserving its heritage. The revitalization of historic neighborhoods, such as La Kalsa and Albergheria, has breathed new life into the city, attracting artists, entrepreneurs, and visitors from around the world. Palermo's cultural calendar is filled with events and festivals that celebrate its diverse heritage, from the Feast of Santa Rosalia to the Arab-Norman Palermo Festival. Whether exploring the city's museums and galleries, wandering through its markets and gardens, or simply soaking up the sun on its sandy beaches, there is something for everyone in Palermo. Palermo is a city of contrasts and contradictions, where ancient history meets modern life, and where tradition mingles with innovation. It is a place that captivates the imagination and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. So come, immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of Palermo, and discover the magic of Sicily's capital city.

A noir and sensual page-turner that cracks open the Mafia’s secret world through the stories of four lives Palermo in the 1980s is a perfect place for a young crime reporter to get his start. The Sicilian Mafia is at work, threatening, wounding, and killing anyone who dares to defy their orders. Our protagonist is himself no angel, hardly compassionate, a bit macho and egocentric, but candid in his recounting of what has unfolded in front of his eyes both on the job and in his private life. Di Piazza, who is also a Sicilian journalist, tells his stories as if he were reporting actual events. His description of the tense bravado of a youth growing up in the midst of Mafia terror is strikingly acute.

The Grand Hôtel et des Palmes is an icon of Palermo life. Its rooms and public spaces have witnessed the events that have shaped twentieth century Sicily: everything from the suicide of a poet to political intrigues and a clandestine mafia meeting. This hotel has a long and venerable history. It started out as a private residence for the Ingham-Whitakers, the Anglo-Sicilian family of marsala wine fame, before being sold to the hotelier Enrico Ragusa in 1874. Wagner was one of the most eminent early guests, looking for inspiration to finish his last opera, Parsifal. A few days after its completion, a nervous Renoir arrived to paint his portrait. Months later came Guy de Maupassant, who asked to see Wagner's former suite so that he might detect 'a little of his personality'. The novelist and poet, Raymond Roussel, arrived in the 1930s, but was destined to leave in a coffin. Arthur Miller, Sophia Loren and Maria Callas were all guests and when Visconti was filming The Leopard in Sicily, the entire cast – notably Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon – visited the hotel. Lancaster even dined with a Baron who had made the hotel his home for reasons shrouded in mystery. Less illustrious guests have included the occultist Aleister Crowley, Lucky Luciano and other mafiosi. Even Giulio Andreotti, the former Italian Prime Minister, who stood trial for complicity in the murder of a journalist and mafia association in the '90s opted for the hotel's Belle Époque opulence. Ghosts of the Belle Époque showcases a richly researched history of this historic hotel, with a cast of characters ranging from the good to the bad and the decidedly ugly.
