An Italian town fills its streets with the work of Gaudí, "the Barcelona of Palermo".

In the town of Borgo Parrini in Sicily, Italy, they have decided to pay homage to the great Antoni Gaudí. They have filled the streets with bright colours, flowers and joy. You can find white houses, turquoise doors and glass mosaic sculptures. It has become a town full of culture.

Originally, it had been abandoned for many years because, in search of work, the residents left their homes and moved to the big cities. Today, the village has been reborn thanks to the help of local businessman and art lover Giuseppe Gaglio, who restored it with architecture inspired by the work of Gaudí and it has become a major tourist destination.

In addition, the façades feature inspirational phrases from poets, artists and writers such as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Frida Kahlo, Antoni Gaudí and Paulo Coelho. 

It's a place you should definitely visit if you travel to Palermo!
