Corleone is a small town of approximately 11,000 inhabitants (2018) in the province of Palermo in Sicily, Italy. It is known primarily as the birthplace of Mafia boss Salvatore Riina and the Cosa Nostra. Even though the name of the city means “Lionheart”, the Mafia dominated the local community in the 1980s and 1990s. Today it is the home of an anti-Mafia museum that tells the story of the Mafia terror and the fight against organized crime.
