What makes Anti-Mafia Corleone & Palermo Full day Private Tour a unique experience ?
The Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele is the largest opera house in Italy, and one of the largest in Europe. Halls, galleries and monumental staircases surround the theater itself, forming an architectural complex of grandiose proportions.
It is considered the "history book of Palermo", since all the conquerors that have come to this island over the centuries have left traces of their passage; the construction dates back to 1184.
The Praetorian Fountain was made in 1554 by the sculptor Francesco Camilliani to decorate a Florentine villa, it was later purchased by the Palermo Senate for an incredibly large sum and arrived in Palermo dismantled into 644 pieces. The obvious nudity of the figures on display did not fail to disturb the souls of the citizens who renamed this site “Piazza della Vergogne”.
The crossroads that were created between Via Maqueda and Via Vittorio Emanuele led to the division of the city into four parts called “Mandamenti”. Each of them takes its name from the most important civil building in that area.
The building is made up of the sanctuary, which retains its original square structure with a dome supported by four pointed arches, typical of the Arab-Norman style, and the baroque naves, added at the end of the 17th century.
It is a long pedestrian street that leads from the central station to the Teatro Massimo. A path that takes those who walk along it on a real journey through the multicultural history of Palermo.
The No Mafia Memorial in Palermo is a powerful tribute to the victims of Mafia violence and a symbol of the ongoing fight against organized crime in Sicily. Situated in the heart of the city, the memorial features a striking design that includes a series of stone pillars inscribed with the names of those who lost their lives to Mafia-related violence, including prominent figures like judges, politicians, and ordinary citizens. The site serves not only as a remembrance of their sacrifice but also as a call to action against corruption and criminality.
Corleone is a small town located in the heart of Sicily, known for its stunning landscapes and rich history. Historically significant, Corleone has a reputation for its connection to the Sicilian Mafia, particularly as the birthplace of infamous mobsters. The town features charming narrow streets, traditional stone buildings, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, offering visitors a glimpse into Sicilian culture and heritage. You will get the chance to visit The Godfather's house and understand the anti Mafia movement that has been on the rise after the devastating events this small town was shaped by.
It offers a powerful and educational journey through the history of the Sicilian Mafia and the courageous efforts of the anti-mafia movement. The center features archival photographs, court documents, and multimedia exhibits that highlight the work of journalists, judges, and citizens who risked or lost their lives in the fight against organized crime. CIDMA serves not only as a memorial but also as a call for social justice, education, and civic engagement.
