 Between the sacred and the profane, waiting for phase two, there are those who rely on prayer to eradicate Covid-19. And there are those who 'protect' the statues of saints such as that of Padre Pio, putting a mask on his face.
    It happens in the Kalsa district in Palermo, where Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni Falcone were born. The sculpture was installed in the central part of the square. In the neighborhood, built during the Islamic domination, there was the fortified citadel with the abode of the emir and his ministers and still retains its name (al halisah, the elect, the pure). In recent years the area has been renovated and around the square restaurants and nightlife clubs have opened, now closed due to the coronavirus emergency.
