In a nutshell

Corleone is so much more than just a name linked to the Mafia: it's a place of history, resistance and change. In the lush Ficuzza forest, you'll wander past murals and small stone blocks, tributes to those who challenged the illegal activities here, and visit the center of documentation which gathers together stories of courage and justice. Lunch will have a special significance: you'll be eating in a place which was confiscated from criminal groups.

The programme

Forget the glamor of the big screen: Corleone isn't a film set, but the site of a real battle. We'll leave Palermo and enter a land marked by courage and the desire for redemption.

Wandering among the streets of Corleone, we'll come across murals that tell the story of the fight against the Mafia, and “stumbling blocks” that honor the sacrifice of those who dared to stand up to their illegal activities.

Then, to the beating heart of Corleone: The CIDMA – Centro Internazionale di Documentazione sulla Mafia e del Movimento Antimafia (the International Center of Documentation on the Mafia and the Anti-Mafia Movement). Here, among the documents and testimonies, the past finds its voice, and the names Dalla Chiesa, Falcone and Borsellino are not just memories, but a legacy that continues to inspire today.

After a pause for reflection, we conclude with an experience that speaks for itself: lunch in a restaurant confiscated from the Mafia, today a tangible symbol of justice and rebirth.

Corleone is much more than you could imagine. Are you ready to see it with new eyes?
