A fantastic way to see Palermo with fascinating insight into the events of 1992 and afterwards. Stefano’s passion for his organisation’s work and the vision for an extortion free Sicily is inspiring. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal

The bike tour was a great experience with passionate tour guide, Stefano (if I remember his name correctly, he was an English teacher and played the drums). He told stories about the history and the present situation of the Mafia, which is relevant if you visit Sicily. It is not a tour through the historic center. Thanks for your passion, Stefano!

What to expect
1
La Magione
After the 1943 bombardament of Palermo, the area of Piazza Magione was heavily damaged. Many years have passed but this is still one of the poorest area of the city. But this is also the place where the two 'anti-mafia' heroes Falcone and Borsellino were born...
20 minutes
2
Il Murales che celebra Falcone e Borsellino
The most iconic portrait of the two anti-mafia prosecutors, killed both in 1992, is now a gigantic artistic mural, overlooking the historic harbour of Palermo
15 minutes
3
Albero Falcone
Placed in front of the house of the anti-mafia prosecutor, after the massacre of Capaci, the so called 'Falcone Tree' became the symbol of the rebellion against the mafia and of the rebirth of the Sicilian people.
15 minutes
4
Via d'Amelio
In this place the anti-mafia prosecutor Paolo Borsellino and 5 members of his security detail died on the 19th of June 1992. The mafia blew off a bomb hidden in a car parked in the street while the prosecutor was going to visit his mother.

November 2024
This was one of the highlights of our trip. It was a fascinating insight to the history of the Mafia in Italy and their reach overseas. It was great to be able to chat with someone so passionate about a cause. Flying out of the newly renamed Falcone Borcellino airport had new significance after hearing of the bravery of these men and the sacrifices their families made. The cycle itself was great, never feeling unsafe on the roads or too physically demanding.

Dov'è il cuore di Palermo, città dal grande fascino? I Quattro Canti, la Cattedrale, Ballarò? Forse il cuore di Palermo sono le tante persone che hanno creduto in una società e in un mondo migliori, e che hanno perso la vita inseguendo e cercando di realizzare questo sogno. Visitare Palermo sulle tracce di Falcone, Borsellino, Libero Grassi e dei tanti che hanno lottato contro la mafia in un viaggio assolutamente da non perdere. L'Antimafia bike tour è un'esperienza intensa, in cui si intrecciano conoscenza ed emozione. L'associazione Addio pizzo porta avanti con grande coraggio e caparbietà i grandi ideali dell'antimafia e consente al turista di calarsi in questa realtà e di scoprire un volto importante di Palermo. Un grande grazie a Stefano, che ha guidato il tour in modo accattivante, competente e generoso.
