  • Palermo, City of Syncretism: Recovering a Complex
    Proceedings of the 3r International Conference on Best Practices in World Heritage: Integral Actions Menorca, Spain, 2-5 May 2018 PALERMO, CITY OF SYNCRETISM: RECOVERING A COMPLEX HISTORIC CENTRE HELPED BY AN AWARE LOCAL COMMUNITY Palermo, ciudad sincrética: recuperar un centro histórico complejo con la ayuda de una comunidad local consciente Giorgio Faraci (1) (1) Università degli Studi di Palermo - DARCH Dipartimento di Architettura, Palermo, Italia, [email protected] ABSTRACT The Italian site of Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalú and Monreale was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015 as an example of a social- cultural syncretism between Western, Islamic and Byzantine cultures. Palermo has maintained its identity over the centuries as a complex and multicultural site. In 1993 the local government of Palermo, supported by the Sicilian Region with specific Laws and funds, launched a process of regeneration of the historic centre, restoring public monuments as well as encouraging recovery of private houses. A specific planning instrument such as the Piano Particolareggiato Esecutivo (PPE) was implemented and a special office was established to coordinate activities and funding. Local community developed a pro-active attitude over the years, demanding local government to promote more cooperation and coordination between the different stakeholders involved in the recovery process. The civil society emphasised the need to intervene not only on the urban and building fabric but also on the social one, starting from the weakest sections of the population. The support of civil society, with its bottom up approach, and the strong political will of local government, determined in the regeneration of the historic centre, made possible to speed up the process.

  • The Pilgrim's
    The Pilgrim’s Way Following the Camino de Santiago From Bilbao to Santiago de Compostela May 3rd - 12th 2018 In AD 1095, when a pilgrimage to Jerusalem became impossible dur- ing the First Crusade, the best alternative to guarantee a remission of half your time in purgatory was a trip to Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. This route became known as the Pilgrim’s Way or the Way of St. James. Chaucer’s Wife of Bath went there and obviously enjoyed the experi- ence as she then chose to go on a second pilgrimage to Canterbury. But it wasn’t just a reduction of time in purgatory that made people take to the road on pilgrimages: social fashion, adventure, the opportunity to find a partner in marriage, or just company and good food (and sometimes even crime), were all lures which attracted people to set off. In fact, many of these are the same attractions and reasons why people go on tours today! In more recent times, it has again become very popular to trace the ancient caminos (trails) to Santiago either by foot, horseback, pedal power or if none of those appeal, by motorized transport. Discover Santiago de Compostela Cathedral Europe’s Gavin Miller has designed a tour following one of the east- west caminos, which we join just east of Burgos in northern Spain. Along the way we will have the opportunity to see some of the most exquisite medieval architecture ever built, both religious and secular. The stained glass windows in Leon cathedral are a must-see for any traveler.
