LIVE from Sicily! | Today we spent the day in Palermo. First stop, my cousin Silvana’s home where we talked with her husband Maurizio and his colleague Geri who are magistrates in Palermo. We learned about organized crime and the work that they do to combat this very real and very disturbing fact about Sicily and southern Italy. After lunch at Piazza Marina, we walked through Kalsa, eventually making our way here, to Via Maqueda where we joined the flow of Palermitani out for their Sunday passeggiata. | Enchanting Sicily tour, Day 11.
