This is a common tourist map of Palermo (Figure 1). As you can see, and as the graphic designers who were responsibile for the map have done, &#8220;historical city&#8221; is easily perceptible. Its system dates back centuries and has remained unchanged until today. Today our guide will be exceptional: a hypothetical viceroy of Sicily.
