PALERMO WONDERFUL – now and always…

  • Genere
  • Storia

The Palermo of  Melinda Zacco is a city with qualities that almost beg to be written about.  Its role as protagonist has always exercised an irresistible fascination.

She creates a web of history, stories and legends which takes the reader through a Palermo often unknown even by those who live there. In this way we discover not only the postcard Palermo but also a city that still conserves, despite destruction on a grand scale, noble palaces and art treasures that are unique in the world. Investigating the networks of memory helps us to recover a historical and artistic heritage that many have forgotten: the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spanish and  Bourbons; the arrival of the “Thousand” and the Unification of Italy; the epoch of the Florio and Whittaker families; and the sad period of blood caused by the Great War as well as the horror of the Second World War that destroyed with its bombardments a large part of the city that still today has not always been rebuilt. 

The book reveals Melinda Zacco’s  deep love for her city and her hope that conservation of the city’s memories will help preserve its identity and lead people to love their city through an awareness of its remarkable history. As the author says, ”Palermo is beautiful, in fact, very beautiful..., but a strong historical memory is also an indispensible part of the making of a people.”
