The Ribaudo Kiosk in Palermo

Chiosco Ribaudo di Palermo

The Ribaudo kiosk in Palermo.
In the city of Palermo you often come across very artistic little kiosks.
I have never been able to understand their history and some time ago, when I was in the city by ship, I photographed one in front of the Politeama Garibaldi Theater, right in the center.
Searching a bit on the internet I found that these liberty monuments were built to sell drinks and tickets. I don't think the one I photographed is used anymore. The one in front of the Teatro Massimo is now a tobacconist.
Here you can find some additional information about the kiosks: italialiberty.it and arte.it.
