Mangia’s stands with Palermo in Rosa: A shared commitment to the local community

As part of the event, Grand Hotel et Des Palmes will host “Bougainvillea”, an artwork by Sicilian artist Domenico Pellegrino, expressing strength, resilience and freedom.

A commitment rooted in the local community

Mangia’s reaffirms its support for Palermo in Rosa, renewing its role as main partner of an initiative that brings the community together around an important message of raising awareness against violence towards women.

This partnership forms part of the Group’s broader commitment to promoting initiatives that create value for the local area, supporting projects that place people, culture and social responsibility at their heart. It reflects an approach to hospitality in which the relationship with destinations goes beyond welcoming guests, developing instead through active participation in community life and the enhancement of local organisations and initiatives.

By supporting Palermo in Rosa, Mangia’s helps give visibility to a message that calls for awareness, respect and collective participation. It is an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of promoting a culture founded on equality and freedom, while recognising the value of initiatives that contribute to meaningful social change.

The art of Domenico Pellegrino at Grand Hotel et Des Palmes

Further strengthening the connection between Mangia’s and the initiative will be the presence of Bougainvillea, an artwork by Palermo-born artist Domenico Pellegrino, which will be exhibited at Grand Hotel et Des Palmes, a historic landmark of the city’s hospitality scene and part of Icona’s Collection.

Part of the Hortus Deliciarum collection, the artwork conveys a message of feminine strength and resilience through light, colour and the language of nature. Inspired by Jeanne Baret, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, Bougainvillea pays tribute to the courage of those who have overcome the limitations of their time, asserted their freedom and opened up new paths.

The decision to host the artwork at Grand Hotel et Des Palmes creates a dialogue between contemporary art, Sicilian identity and social commitment. This encounter reflects the vocation of the historic hotel, long a landmark of Palermo’s cultural and artistic life and now part of Icona’s Collection’s vision for the enhancement of high-end hospitality.
