Lived in Padova with Sicilian roomates for a year, and they certainly talked about it.
I mean, they kind of roll their eyes if it's the first thing someone mentions, because Sicily is an incredible, beautiful place with great food, beaches and Mt Etna - it's much more than the stereotype from the movies.
But it's an undeniable fact of life just the same.
- thefounder 7y agoI bet Medellin is such a great place too but who is to blame for its reputation? It's just that the locals got used with the families/cartels so they may not be bothered by the crime syndicates that much.
- davidw 7y agoIt's not an easy problem to solve. If you're the only one to speak up - or even a visible person - you or your family might get hurt or killed. These are very nasty, brutal people that run these organizations. I was just trying to make the point that a lot of Sicilians do talk openly about it, but might react poorly if that's like the first thing you blurt out when you speak to them.
