Fighting the Mafia and Renewing Sicilian Culture
Leoluca Orlando
Growing up in an aristocratic Palermo family that seems almost to have stepped from the pages of The Leopard, Leoluca Orlando came of age at the exact moment that a new and particularly vicious Mafia sect, centered in the town of Corleone, was making its appearance. Fueled by profits from the international heroin trade, this mafia gangsteristica embarked on a reign of terror that made Sicily into an Italian Lebanon and filled the international press with pictures of bloody bodies - not just those of Mafia rivals of the Corleonesi, but of police and government officials as well.
