Welcome to the third edition of TangoFest Palermo

TangoFest Palermo is a festival that lasts four days, from 26 July until 29, which will take place in two locations: in the historical structure of The church Santa Maria dello Spasimo (commonly known as “Lo Spasimo”), in the enchanting city of Palermo, here will take place the afternoons of the Milongas until sunset and in the evening s the events will follow in the hotel San Paolo Palace 4*, location dedicated to the lessons of Milongas.

The Spasimo is one of the most suggestive monuments of Palermo, magically rich, inside of which we can find, a deconsecrated church without a roof , located in the Arab zone called the “Kalsa”, found in the external parts of the city centre of Palermo, overlooking the sea. The Arab-Norman circuit of Palermo was declared a part of the World Heritage list in 2015.  We dancers of tango (tangueri) will dance in the immense centre nave of the church under an open sky. Again, in this fascinating place, without time, will take place for the third edition of TangoFest Palermo! Palermo the capital of culture of 2018 and why not, also of Tango! Follow the dream…

Santa Maria dello Spasimo

Around 1506, the Palermitan jurist Giacomo Basilicò, particularly devoted to the Virgin Mary, in front of Christ on the cross, the calvary scene…

Palermo

“In the public garden near the port, passed alone in some magnificent hours. It is the most splendid place in the world”. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (poeta)
