Palermo Panorama is Mauro D'Agati's love letter to his beloved hometown, a raw portrait that shows Palermo's charm and grit in equal measure. The book comprises 13 chapters, each dedicated to a distinct series, which all grew organically over time to form a complex picture of the city. Here among others are D'Agati's very first photos, black-and-white street portraits taken while still a student; the waste-littered Termini Beach, a summer destination for the people of Palermo's suburbs; the abandoned and neglected Vucciria neighborhood; portraits of wedding photographers and singers at local music festivals; the Capuchin Catacombs; and transvestites on Via Roma near Palermo's central station. Regardless of his subject, D'Agati portrays Palermo's resilient characters and crumbling beauty with compassion and without judgment.

Born 1968 in Palermo, Mauro D’Agati gained a law degree before beginning to work as a professional photographer in 1995. He initially documented Sicilian jazz festivals, art and theatre events, before contributing to Italian and international magazines. D’Agati’s books with Steidl include Palermo Unsung (2009), Alamar (2010), Napule Shot (2010), Sit Lux et Lux Fuit (2012) and Marzia’s Family (2015).
