The first thing you can notice arriving in Palermo is that this is a place of big contrasts. Starting from the crumbling buildings of the city downtown, which often alternates blocks of questionable taste, arisen in the years of speculation, it appears as wrapped in a shroud of mystery. Glancing through the building facades, in this alternation of Arabian and Mediterranean recalls, I often wondered who inhabited these places, which tales are contained within these walls.

My discovery of Palermo began from an investigation about empty spaces, where the industrialization of recent past left a memory of strong structures, nowadays abandoned.
