traffic changes in the centre, prohibitions and closed roads

Everything is ready for the new edition of “StraPapa-StraPalermo”the recreational walk, organized by ACSI Western Sicily with the patronage and co-organization of the Municipality, which sees fathers and children running together coloring the streets of the historic center of the city.

A few days after its return, Sunday 5 May, there are already many registered participants and it promises to be – once again – one of the most attended events in Italy. (The complete program of the new edition is in one of our articles)
