Capaci

The terrain around Capaci is a Mediterranean coastal strip on the Gulf of Carini, backed by rising inland ground, and it has shaped both the town’s compact development and local economy. On Sicily’s Tyrrhenian shore, Capaci lies west of Palermo and near the routes connecting the city with Falcone Borsellino Airport. The town is closely associated with the 23 May 1992 bombing on the A29 motorway nearby, in which anti-Mafia magistrate Giovanni Falcone, Francesca Morvillo and three police escorts were murdered; it remains a defining event in Italy’s civic memory. Its continuous coastal development and proximity to Palermo place Capaci within the city’s wider metropolitan area.
