I haven’t made it to Sicily as a whole, and particularly to Palermo. However, I spent a few days in Sciacca, which is opposite the eastern tip of Sicily, immersed in the specific atmosphere of southern Italy. Despite the brevity of the trip, it was one of the most memorable: textured, warm ambiance, driving a convertible Z4 with the top down through narrow streets among centuries-old stone architecture and the azure coast. Honestly, both there and afterward, it felt like I had been in a movie.
To my surprise, I discovered that I hadn’t published the few photos from the trip in my journal: let them be an exclusive for the photo project in the Italy section. I will also share the shots of Palermo taken by concept artist Maxime Lee. I should note that street photography for him, just like for me, is a hobby and a way to train our visual perception. And Palermo is perfect for these purposes.
It is an open-air museum city where the eras of antiquity, Arab rule, and the Middle Ages intertwine. Here, one can truly apply the "sweet" concept of eclecticism. The concentration of architectural details is so high that each individual building deserves its own cycle of articles. But enough words; it’s better for you to see this stunning collection yourself.
