No Mafia Memorial
Museum
👍👍 Great "project" worth supporting. There are plenty of pictures. Some explanation in English. A film with English subtitle. Since it's a memorial and not a museum, I find it sufficient. It gives some insights and impulses to read more. It doesn't cost entrance but it is possible to buy books or leave...

😠 First of all please let me remind you of the concept of "Aperitivo" in Italy where you get a drink and some food or buffet is included in the price of the drink, however, what happened with us is kind of a basic scam that's not even innovative as follows: A staff member is offering us Aperitivo wher...
