Cinisi

The Falcone-Borsellino Airport of Palermo is found in the territory of Cinisi, a small village west of Palermo, found between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. As of 2007 Cinisi had an estimated population of 11,363.

Cinisi is famous, among other things, for the Carnevale Parade with many papier-mâché floats. It is also the birthplace of Sicilian poet Giovanni Meli, anti-mafia activist Peppino Impastato (the movie, I cento passi, the biography of Impastato, was filmed here), and others.
