Street Photography in Palermo

Palermo is a city where degradation and sublime beauty have always gone hand in hand. A city on the edge of Italy and Europe, in the center of the ancient world.

Flashy, haughty, and full of life, photographing in the streets of Palermo means wandering among peeling buildings and rough sidewalks, and witnessing the exchanges between shrewd sellers in markets that resemble those of Egypt. Palermo is a city that is easy to observe superficially but difficult to get to know, like all of Sicily.

The intertwining of cultures that have never been erased and has grown, the unique monuments, street art, and a cheerful lifestyle make Palermo one of my favorite places for street photography in Italy.
