Following in the footsteps of Bălcescu in Palermo

To visit the former Hotel Alla Trinacria where Nicolae Bălcescu died, and Piazza Garibaldi from Piazza Marina, in the short time before leaving from Palermo to Catania, we used transport by "moto ape" ("lapinu" in sicilian). In Palermo is taking a fight to the tourist to do sit on the seat : Bee taxi cab drivers against drivers, drivers of cars against taxi drivers, taxi drivers Bee against coachmen of carriages. Ape (Italian bee, also known as Vespacar) is a pickup truck and a dreirädiges the Italian manufacturer Piaggio scooter mobile. The Ape has been made ​​since 1947 in Italy and since the introduction of the limited edition of 2007 in India. So, we went from Piazza Pretoria on Via Maqueda passing through: Piazza Bellini, Via Roma and finally on Corso Vittorio Emanuele almost to the end, where we entered the Piazza Santo Spirito and Foro Italico Umberto I. On this avenue we entered via Butera and so we came to the house no. 24 where was the Hotel Alla Trinacria and where Bălcescu arrived on October 17 1852 at 9 pm. after a journey of almost three days by boat "Ercolano", coming from Naples. Bălcescu was housed at room no. 26 but his health deteriorated rapidly and in the evening of November 27 1852 he died. Two marble plaques on the facade, confirms the passage of Bălcescu and Garibaldi there. We continued on via Butera, Corso Vittorio Emanuele up to Piazza Marina and Villa Garibaldi. Piazza Marina was designed by architect Giovan Battista Filippo Basile between 1861 and 1864. Piazza Marina, had been used for Aragonese weddings, victory celebrations, and, unfortunately, public executions. In the villa there are busts that of Giuseppe Garibaldi, Rosolino Pilo, Giovanni Corrao, Raffaele De Benedetto, Louis Tukory. A bust of Nicholas Bălcescu was installed in 1961 in Piazza Marina (Giardino Garibaldi) of Palermo. The shock front is the inscription "Nicola Balcescu grande storico e patriota romeno, morto of Palermo, April 29. 1819-28 nov. 1852, and on the left reads:" Busto offerto dall'Accademia Popolare della Republica Romena in Occasione dello Principati Romen's Anniversario dell'Unità dei delle celebrazioni dell'Unità d'Italia - anno 1961 ".
