The Manchester City coach, in Sicily for the friendly with the rosanero, went up the Monte Pellegrino on foot to receive the blessing
When the British style marries with the traditions of a South city. Palermo also has this effect on foreigners passing through. So here can happen to see Pep Guardiola on foot to the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia, the patron saint of Palermo. What in Sicilian dialect is called the acchianata to receive the blessing of the “Santuzza” and which for the Palermitans is a consolidated ritual. A pilgrimage before this evening at the Barbera between Palermo and Manchester City for the Anglo-Palermo Trophy.

This morning the Manchester staff, led by the Spanish technician and athletic trainer Federico Genovesi, and wearing shirts with the image of Falcone and Borsellino, has reached Monte Pellegrino on foot to visit the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia, a symbol of faith and identity throughout Palermo. Welcomed by the regent Don Natale Fiorentino, the staff members gathered in silent prayer in the Sacred Grotto, receiving the blessing. A gesture, as told by the Facebook profile of the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia, who has united faith and tradition of a city that will live a football evening out of normal tonight.
