Shifting Imageries: Gentrification and the New Touristic Images of the Inner City of Palermo
2021

Therefore, over the last sixty years, all kinds of representations of Palermo have revolved around the presence of criminal organizations and the risks of living in the most dangerous areas of the city (including the city centre).
