Don Vito: The Secret Life of the Mayor of the Corleonesi
Massimo Ciancimino, Francesco La Licata
Biography: general, Biography: historical, political & military, True crime, Prose: non-fiction
The explosive biography of a Sicilian Mafia Don by his whistle-blowing son.
Vito Ciancimino - Don Vito da Corleone - spent forty years in the grip of death, mafia, politics, business deals and the secret service. Don Vito recounts years of previously censored contacts between politicians and the mafia - between the Italian State and the Cosa Nostra. The key witness is Massimo, his son, who has given his personal testament for the first time in which he recounts some of the most important events of Italy's recent history. If Roberto Saviano's Gomorra revealed the workings of the mafia system from street level, Don Vito tells us about the people who held the reins of power.
