In recent years, however, people have had enough of the mafia. The people of Palermo are looking for a safer, more predictable way of life for themselves and their children.
Yes! Programs like the one at the church I visited are showing young Sicilian children that they can choose a different path. (Make sure to check out my new Album, which includes a video of some of the kids I met!) Businesses are banding together to refuse to pay the pizzo, and residents and visitors alike are become much more educated and united in their efforts to oust the mafia from Sicily.
