Mafia Tourism
Yes, and we believe that we invented it.
We will take you to sites of historical Mafia activity Palermo, Corleone (home of The Godfather), Siracusa, and many other small towns. In fact there are examples of Mafia activity everywhere, including the very roadways under our van (all and more will be explained). We will discuss the Mafia, their roots in ancient Roman agricultural policy, their role as alternative local government, and what they are up to now. We will also discuss the anti–Mafia movement and visit the anti–Mafia museum in Corleone. Tour leader Douglas Kenning has lectured on the Mafia at universities around the San Francisco area.
You can also stay overnight in the estate of a Mafia Don, now turned into a beautiful organic farmhouse B&B run by Libera, the national anti-Mafia organization.
