Palermo doesn’t just reveal its secrets in sunlight—it hides them behind grand boulevards, leafy gardens, and stately villas. Wind along Via Notarbartolo’s bustling avenue, trace the shaded paths of Villa Trabia, and follow Viale della Libertà, where faded aristocratic glory still lingers. This self-guided audio tour uncovers gripping stories and overlooked corners that even locals forget.

What desperate scandal left a once-mighty villa crumbling in silence? Why did a single exhibition transform wild orange groves into Palermo’s showpiece street almost overnight? And how did an infamous crime along Via Notarbartolo haunt an entire era?

Let footsteps lead past layers of rebellion, architectural ambition, whispered conspiracies, and botanic wonders. Discover Palermo’s ceaseless transformation, moving through sun and shadow to see these streets with entirely new eyes.
