ENCASTROLO, 2001, video 6'. In this video, Giovanni, a street trader in my home town, confesses in Sicilian dialect during a party the story of his life. He was falsely accused of being a member of the Sicilian Mafia and sentenced to life in prison. After three years, the mistake was rectified. While other Sicilian men could have felt proud of being taken for a mafioso, the protagonist talks about this humilation. |
