Need a place to stay in Palermo? Check out the artisanal B&B Il Palchetto near Teatro Massimo. Many thanks to owner Silvia for her hospitality.

Her B&B is profiled in my new book (link in bio) and absolutely worth checking out if you visit Palermo.

Enjoying your stay in Palermo? Don’t forget to expand your mind while traveling. Stop by the independent bookstore La Stanza di Carta across the street from the Church of St Cataldo and Santa Maria dell Ammiraglio.

If you speak a bit of Italian, be sure to say hello to the owner Piero and read more about the bookshop and Palermo’s tailors in my book (link in bio).

The third and latest edition of Sleevehead’s Guide to Sicilian Tailors is finally here. SGST3 has more than double the content of the previous version. It covers more than 30 tailors and artisans in 10+ cities and towns across Sicily and Italy.

Ottavio Trigona, my friend and advocate of Sicilian craftsmanship, wrote the lovely foreword.

A hardcover version is coming this fall. Link to e-book in bio.

[Cari sarti e artigiani, presto riceverete un link per scaricare una copia gratuita dell’ebook. Entro la fine dell’anno spero di pubblicare e darvi una copia della versione cartacea]
