Palermo Panorama is Mauro DAgatis love letter to his beloved hometown, a raw portrait that shows Palermos charm and grit in equal measure. The book comprises 13 chapters, each dedicated to a distinct series, which all grew organically over time to form a complex picture of the city. Here among others are DAgatis very first photos, black-and-white street portraits taken while still a student; the waste-littered Termini Beach, a summer destination for the people of Palermos suburbs; the abandoned and neglected Vucciria neighborhood; portraits of wedding photographers and singers at local music festivals; the Capuchin Catacombs; and transvestites on Via Roma near Palermos central station. Regardless of his subject, DAgati portrays Palermos resilient characters and crumbling beauty with compassion and without judgment.
