Palermo is the main city of the island of Sicily and rich in culture and history. Dominated during the centuries by various civilization, all of which have left their sign to the city.

Palermo is rich in historical buildings. Among them, we remember the Cathedral, a mixture of various architectonical styles, symbol of the various dominations endured by the city. Worth a visit are, without doubt, the Capuchin catacombs, where friars are buried and their imbalmed bodies are perfectly preserved.

The richness of the palermitan culture is evident in its cooking: the cannoli and cassate are world famous, but also worth a taste are the arancini (balls of rice stuffed with peas and tomato sauce) or the sfincione (a sort of pizza, with anchovies, sicilian cheese and tomato sauce).
