Palermo
You don't visit Palermo — you live it. The markets shouting from dawn, the salt on your skin at Mondello, the baroque facades crumbling in the sun. It's here, between two stalls of old beads, that the Palermo Necklace was born.
Eat
Since 1834. Pani ca meusa for the brave, arancine for the rest. An absolute institution — trust it blindly.
The belly of Palermo. Street food, boiled octopus, panelle — arrive hungry, leave happy.
The trattoria where we celebrated the last bead we found.
Sleep
The palazzo with green shutters.
To wake up facing Mondello.
Party
The market's most famous bar. Sangue and vino cotto at the counter — the night starts here and ends on the square.
The market becomes an open-air dancefloor. No one sleeps, everyone dances.
The one we only give to friends.
Shopping & beads
Palermo's flea market — where we hunt for old beads, coral and glass. The origin of everything.
Fabrics, ceramics, majolica — Sicilian energy in color.
The bead counter we keep like a secret.
Encounters & rituals
The octagonal square empty at 7 am, golden light on the baroque. The only moment when Palermo whispers.
Turquoise water, Liberty-style cabins, lemon granita. The salt that stays on the skin — captured in the piece.
All of Palermo meets here. Sit, watch, let yourself be adopted.
Palermo Necklace
Freshwater pearls, aged silver, blue smileys — the energy of the Vucciria on a Saturday night.
