Metro Art and Theater - in the Rosalian Jubilee Year with artistic direction by Francesco Panasci.

This project, initiated in 2018, supports Sicilian artistic excellence, focusing on artists who are born, trained, and professionally grow in the Palermo area. It is conceived and promoted by Francesco Panasci and the ECU Association, which has garnered significant success and support from institutions through substantial economic contributions.

The initiative serves as a "cultural and media container" aimed at promoting the territories, areas of social and cultural revitalization within the urban context, and cultural sites, thereby fostering tourism in our city and Sicily. In the past two editions, special attention was given to Palermo's peripheral areas, thanks to participation in calls issued by the Palermo Municipal Administration to access the FUS.

Among the festival's primary goals is the territorial enhancement of places and sites located in the city's peripheral areas.
