The art of living or surviving


In an area in the city centre, the historical side of the town where the people, working for the Norman King living in the Royal Palace, had settled, there is a square in the socalled "Albergheria"where cars can be parked thanks to Marcello's help. Who's it? It's the square car parker boy. Who does he work for? He's a freelance. Ten years ago he created his job. The square is always full of cars because there is a school nearby and there is the famous market "BallarĂ²"and the food trucks have to deliver the goods to the many market stands along the streets. He has been working there for 15 years and he can gain money each month for himself and his family composed of wife and four children thanks to the change people parking there give him.
It is very strange in our capitalistic society to live or survive in that manner. But it is very creative to find a job just observing the needs around and trying to answer them.
Thank Marcello, the Palermo working people need you.
