Palermo: Food and Art - Half Day Tour

This tour offers my historical-artistic and cultural traditions knowledge. I am an architect who has combined love for art and love for my land. We begin in front of the Teatro Massimo, Palermo's Opera House. We then walk through the Capo and Ballarò, two of Palermo's historic markets, to discover most of the ingredients that are used in Sicilian cuisine. Along the way, we visit sumptuous Baroque churches, built in the wake of the Counter-Reformation, to attract believers through emotions and theatricality. You'll see how their exuberant decorations are also reflected in the colourful and sensual historic food market. Of course, sampling Palermo's best street food will also be a priority! Our exploration of Palermo's markets involves gastronomic stops to sample some of Palermo's best street food and local wine. Art food and wine in Palermo are connected by culture, atmosphere, and history.
