Palermo is the former “capital” of the Sicilian mafia. It now claims to be the capital of tolerance and welcoming migrants. Many initiatives are underway – running counter-current to Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's policies.

In June 2018, Leoluca Orlando, mayor of Palermo, was one of the first to offer hosting the Aquarius and its “undesirable” passengers. These last three years, the Sicilian capital has welcomed tens of thousands of migrants. A sizable number of them have decided to stay – among whom many unaccompanied minors. Numerous organizations are working hand in hand to take care of them, with the support of the town hall.
