Via Pindemonte
A place so evocative that did not remain insensitive even Ippolito Pindemonte, who visited the Catacombs of the Capuchins November 2, 1777 and wrote in the verses of his "Sepolcri":
The city of Palermo expressed gratitude to the illustrious poet, calling the road leading to the church of Santa Maria della Pace, and then to the cemetery, via Pindemonte.

"Death looks at them and it seems to have missed all shots."
Ippolito Pindemonte, 2 November 1777
"You are what we were, we are what you will be."
