Itinerary

  • Teatro Massimo

    The opera teathre of Palermo is famous as the location of the most dramatic scene of The Godfather III. Anyway, this monument is also a symbol of the rebirth of the city after decades of Mafia violence.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    The longest wall painting in Italy (70 meters long) represents some of the most known mafia victims and is part of an urban renovation project. It is both the chance to become familiar with the victims' faces and to shoot some good pictures!

    10 minutes

  • Capo Street Market (Pass By)

    The colorful old open-air market is the perfect place to understand better the relationship between the Mafia and shopkeepers while walking through one of the most interesting and loud areas of the city.

  • Palazzo di Giustizia

    Piazza della Memoria, by the Palerm Court House, is a Memorial dedicated to judges and prosecutors killed by the Mafia.

    15 minutes

  • Cattedrale di Palermo

    In front of the spectacular Arab-Norman Cathedral, the guide will talk about the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Mafia

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    Along the Cassaro, you will come across with an orange sticker on their windows. Their owners - like this famous gelato place - have said NO to paying the extortion racket, or ‘pizzo’, and have joined the mafia-free critical consumption campaign promoted by the grassroots movement Addiopizzo. You too have the chance to stop and support them with some “good” shopping!

    15 minutes

  • Palazzo Pretorio, Municipio di Palermo

    The City Hall of Palermo has been the seat of corrupted politicians, as well as of the ones who have been fighting against the Mafia.

    15 minutes

Excellent tour.

Published on Jan, 2025

I enjoyed learning about the heroes trying to do something about the death and disorder caused by the mafia. In addition I learned that at its root it is all about corruption. Oh boy, does this company franchise? We need to expand this experience to the states.

Very informative tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We took this tour the first day we were in Palermo and were glad that we did. It was a good overview of the mafia history in Sicily and specifically Palermo and information about mafia activity around the world.

Interesting and educational walking tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Very interesting walking tour (about 3 km) with a very committed tour guide Attillio. He talked extensively about mafia, pizzo, social and political structures in sicilian society. An education!

An Anti-Mafia Tour with a Passionate Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Francesco was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and very passionate about the focus of the tour — the history of the Mafia in Sicily, how widespread it was, how it functioned, how destructive it was, and the intense effort over decades to try to root it out, with vestiges remaining nonetheless. Francesco got us to understand the importance the importance of Addio Pizzo and the work it is doing. He covered a lot, and indeed there is a lot to cover on this topic. Strongly recommend this experience.

This tour was incredible....
