Picture of Palermo
Caption: Palermo, Sicily Off-Season Charm
Caption: I was told Palermo was as authentic as they come. I was told that I might not recognize Italy. It sure felt like some remote and exotic version of the Italy that I know. The atmosphere of the city is spellbinding.
We arrived at night — which is how it should be done everywhere, if you ask me — and were instantly taken. The busy streets, the penumbra, the intricate silhouettes of the balconies above our heads, the warm air. The more passionate moments for me are usually the firsts, when every detail seems enchanting and you’re in a hurry to take it all in. Let’s just say that Palermo made a good first impression.

Palazzina Cinese
Caption: A Chinese palace in Sicily? If you venture a bit north, in the middle of the rather untrimmed-but-beautiful Parco della Favorita, you'll find the perfectly restored Palazinna Cinese, a 19th century mansion that manages to find a balance between kitsch and grace.
