Abstract

At the beginning it was Chandlers Street. If “street names are like the title of chapters of the history book of a city “(cit. Ferdinand Gregorovius), Chandlers Street owns at least two of them. The first chapter is very interesting because it tells the story of the distribution throughout the city of Palermo of the associations of Arts and Crafts that, since the Fifth Century, have resettled in strategic areas of the transportation network, concurring to the definition of urban toponymy: artisans expert in candle manufacturing opened their shops in Chandlers Street. The second chapter is perhaps even more interesting because it caused a real revolution, switching on a new light in the darkness of an abandoned and forgotten corner of the historical city cente
