To most people outside Sicily, the word mafia is almost synonymous with the place. So it is no doubt that a tourist guide, fed up with answering common questions about the mafia has come up with a 55-page pocket book to help himself and the tourists.
A Sicilian tour guide who got fed up with answering the same questions about the mafia has written a pocket-sized book he thinks visitors will be unable to refuse.
The Mafia Explained to Tourists, published in Italian, English, Japanese, German, Spanish and French, tackles questions such as: what a mafioso looks like, whether the mafia will exist forever and “why haven’t we seen a shootout in our 10 days here?”
