Thanks to Palermo, I believe in the magic of doors that open, intoxicating scents, delicious flavors, hands that reach out, and hearts that respond. Palermo has won me over every time I visit. Alone or accompanied by my students, my colleagues, my son, my daughter, my sister, my love, my friends… I keep going back. The desire to return to Palermo continues to resonate within me. This time, I would like to take the journey with you.
