Mafia Museum

Designed by Oliviero Toscani, the path of the Museum begins with ten “electoral booths” that portray the different aspects linked to the elements of what our (the massacres, the ratio of the Mafia with religion, intimidation, management of energy and water, to then arrive at issues such as the prison, the role of the family, politics, information and health). The Museum then continues with the hall called “Palermo delighted”, in which Cesare Inzerillo has played a real abuse construction which culminates in the mummy of a dead man killed by the mafia nestled in a pylon of cement. To the sides of the tunnel are located on the one hand the photographs of Palermo devastated by the illegal construction, while on the other hand are positioned images when it was considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Here is the room of the unauthorised building, room decorated with mummies of Inzerillo representing the corpses linked to what our, still clinging to a presumed life. In the next rooms, a labyrinth leads to the “Room of the Cronostoria”, in which is reproduced chronologically the history of Cosa Nostra. A series of panels reproduce the first pages of the newspapers that show the most significant events of the past 150 years of Mafia.

Inside the museum there is the “Room of the Blades”, wherein instead of the floor is positioned a grass, and on the walls are projected landscapes devastated by the wind, undertaking in which mafia has been able to expand undisturbed. Three rooms are dedicated to temporary exhibitions, among these the exhibition of Gaspare Mutolo, one of the most important repented of the history of what our, that through ten works tells the Sicily view from the mafioso before, from prison then, and finally by a free man. In an interview reproduced inside the museum, Mutolo tells of the paintings that he painted on behalf of boss Luciano Liggio. At the end of the path, in the exhibition hall of the Museum, are projected documentaries and interviews of the protagonists of the history of the Mafia.
