Description
Peter Robb's journey into the dark heart of Sicily is a searching investigation into the island's legacy of political corruption and violent crime. Using history, painting, literature and food, he sheds light on the complex web of power and influence that has shaped this beautiful and bewildering island.
Starting with the trial of seven-times Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti, for alleged Mafia involvement, Robb combines a deep understanding of the historical context with an exuberant appreciation of Sicily's unique culture and landscape.
Through his exploration of this fascinating island, Robb reveals the intricate relationships between politics, art, and everyday life, and shows how the Mafia's influence has left an enduring mark on Sicilian society.
