The courthouse
On a new day we went to the courthouse Tribunale, to visit Bunkerino or the little bunker, which is dedicated to Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, two highly important judges for modern Italian history. Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino are the two greatest figures for modern Italian history. Both are Sicilian. They were born and raised here in Palermo and became childhod friends. When they grew up, they became judges and fought against the Sicilian mafia. Unfortunately their struggle ended with assasinations they suffered just a few months apart from each other. Of course, this was a great tragedy for the whole of Italy. These two people are still remembered as heroes of the Italian Republic. A museum has been established in their memory at the Palace of Justice in Palermo,
The photo of the bunker’s austere façade really captures the solemnity of Falcone and Borsellino’s legacy—did you notice the subtle carvings of the Palermo skyline on the stone? What was your most striking moment while walking through the museum’s exhibits? 🌿🕰️✨
En la foto el bunker bajo la luz del atardecer quedó genial para una parada de mochilo antes de seguir la ruta por Palermo. Aproveché el presupuesto y combiné la visita al museo con una pizza en el mercado cercano, ¡mini‑aventura gastronómica!
Miren esto, la luz que entra por la ventana del Bunkerino sobre la placa del año 1994 crea una atmósfera casi sagrada; ¿sabían que el museo conserva la toga de Falcone junto a la de Borsellino? Valió la pena descubrir ese detalle. 😊
