Love breaks through all barriers
DESCRIPTION
Panormos, from the ancient Greek Pan Hormos (“All Port”) is the ancient name of Palermo. True to its name, Palermo and Sicily were conquered by Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards and more. Today the remnants of diverse cultures are still present, creating a crossroad of people and cultures. Scorched by the sun, Palermo is a gateway between East, West, North and South, but even though it’s a complicated city, ravaged by the mafia and full of problems, Palermo is also the city where love breaks through all barriers.
