Arte vs Mafia. La forza della bellezza.

Can art be a tool to combat the mafia and revitalize places marked by crime? Are the photographs documenting those tragic moments chronicles, art, or history? From Tony Gentile's photograph of Falcone and Borsellino smiling in a moment of intimacy (which inspired the mural that dominates Palermo's seafront, painted by street artists Rosk and Loste) to Velasco Vitali's "Branco," an itinerant metaphorical work made from waste produced by illegal construction, and Emilio Isgro's "Seme d'Arancia" for his homeland, captured by Ferdinando Scianna's lens. Thirty years after the deaths of the two magistrates and forty years after the murders of La Torre and Dalla Chiesa, the documentary tells of art as a symbol of beauty and freedom for civil society and for all those who share the fight against the mafia.
