The Boutique in Palermo
SELECTION MADE OF PURE EXPERIENCES
The boutique was founded in 1964 in a 19th-century building on Via della Libertà 5 in Palermo.
Torregrossa brought the great brands of Italian and international fashion to the Sicilian capital, moving through eras and trends without ever giving up the taste for elegance.
