Addiopizzo
Addiopizzo (goodbye extortion money) is a grassroot antimafia movement of businesses and consumers who refuse to pay extortion money “pizzo” to the Mafia, and is based in Palermo. Addiopizzo is an open, fluid and dynamic movement, that acts from below and presents itself as a spokesman of a “cultural revolution” against the Mafia. It is constituted by all women and men, girls and boys, business owners and customers who recognize themselves in this sentence: “A whole population that pays the pizzo is a population without dignity”.

Transparent Mafia
When it came down to business, Cosa Nostra could always count on fear. No more. In a rebellion shaking the Sicilian Mafia to its centuries-old roots, businesses are joining forces in refusing to submit to demands for protection money called “pizzo.”
