A lovely C15th fresco in the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia, a museum in a renovated palazzo in the La Kalsa neighborhood, another slum that's being transformed. All the art is from destroyed churches, palazzi and other places. It's a well presented collection of the sorts of things you can never see this close, if they were still in situ. So many of Palermo's churches (and there are so many churches ) are badly lit, dusty, cold and in poor repair. Plenty of tombs of once grand people who no longer mean anything to anyone living. That's what you see in the churches that are open. Many are locked.
