Anti-Mafia Museum
Via Giuseppe Valenti, 7, 93012 Gela CL, ItalyNot only famous for its majestic Norman architecture, Sicily is also famous as the homeland of the Mafia. On the island there is a famous museum – the anti-Mafia museum. Visitors visit this museum to truly understand what the Mafia is and has been, by taking a journey through history from its beginnings to the present day.
Visitors from all over the world when coming to Sicily always want to learn about the famous criminal organization throughout the island - the Mafia organization. A visit to the town of Corleone and its museum will shed light on the depth of the problems as well as the courageous effort to solve them. The name of the museum is The Centro Internazionale Di Documentazione sulla Mafia e Movimento Antimafia - CIDMA is dedicated to telling the stories of victims of violence and a history that goes beyond Hollywood stereotypes about the Mafia.
The CIDMA Museum was inaugurated on December 12, 2000, in the presence of the highest authorities of the state, including the President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Pino Arlacchi, on behalf of Secretary General Kofi Annan. Progress and Legitimacy are the goals that CIDMA intends to pursue.
Corleone's small anti-Mafia museum recounts the horrifying history of Sicily's Cosa Nostra crime syndicate, focusing on the courageous efforts of anti-Mafia campaigners and judges who spoke out against crime. organized crime rather than against Mafia culture. Museum visits are organized by local guided tour only (English tours are available).
A giant 'No Mafia' sign greets visitors at the entrance, which is also the poignant statement of murdered anti-Mafia judge Jac Falcone about the unbearable but necessary sacrifice to against this crime syndicate thing. Three rooms are visited: the first contains main material from the groundbreaking maxi trials of 1986-1987; the second shows photographs of photojournalist Letizia Battaglia, who documented Mafia crimes in the 1970s and 1980s; and the third shows images of Mafia bosses, men of justice who fought them and those who have lost loved ones.
The museum is located in a cobbled street just off Piazza Garibaldi, 450 meters walk from Via Francesco Bentivegna from Piazza Falcone e Borsellino. The museum's guides are all locals, and the information they share with visitors is not simply a story told, it's what they experienced. It would be remiss to visit Sicily without visiting the CIDMA anti-Mafia museum.
