Synopsis

Palermo has emerged from its mafia days as a welcoming and enchanting mediterranean city. Tourists flock there, but writer Roberto Alajmo is a native. Growing up in Palermo with its turbulent politics and mafia influence never dented the passion that Alajmo felt for his city. He shows us the famous sights, the scenes of murders, the gardens and parks, the alleys and markets. He comments on the crazy traffic, the illegal building trade, the sea, the cliches, the thoughts of the Sicilians in general and of the inhabitants of Palermo in particular. For Sicilians, Palermo is an onion - peel away a layer and it is still perfectly formed, only shiny and fresh. Much of life happens beneath the surface.
