Corleone by Agostino Pacciani
Corleone is a small town of approximately 12,000 inhabitants in the Province of Palermo in Sicily. It is known primarily as the birthplace of several Mafia bosses, both fictional and real, like Michele Navarra, Luciano Liggio, Salvatore Riina, Leoluca Bagarella, Bernardo and Giovanni Brusca and at last Bernardo Provenzano. The Mafia has dominated the local community for decades, and only recently have segments of the population begun to rebel against this influence, to which the Mafia responds with enormous violence. In the past, many victims of the Mafia have showed their determination to defend the legality: Bernardino Verro, mayor and founder of the movement Fasci Siciliani (murdered in 1915) and Placido Rizzotto, trade unionist ( murdered in 1948).
