About the artwork

I discovered this not untypical Sicilian street scene in the heart of the historic old town of Palermo during my summer trip on 13 July 2019 on a photographic morning walk. The urban motif was captured with the NIKON D90 camera (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5).
The nun was really in a hurry, packed with shopping bags she walked straight along the path.

Palermo has dressed up! As the capital of Sicily, Palermo was crowned Italian Capital of Culture in 2018 and this status has helped Palermo undergo a transformation.
Today, Palermo's historic centre is home to a pretty pedestrian zone where chaos and traffic once reigned. Palermo surprises with great sights, for which you should allow a few days.
The best way to discover Palermo is on foot or with the Hop On Hop Off bus, which promises an exciting tour of the city and allows you to hop on and off at various stops, taking in a whole host of sights.

We recommend a tour of the old town, which you can easily do in one day and visit the most important sights in the centre.

The charming and morbid house facades with crumbling plaster and washed-out colours have a particularly enchanting flair and are ideal for living and working spaces.
The vibrancy of Palermo is quite evident in this simple yet remarkable moment on the street. The harmonious, urban image composition lends the motif a timeless, friendly, lively and unobtrusive atmosphere that conjures up a relaxed and inviting ambience in all living and working spaces.
