Corleone

"Corleone es una pequeña ciudad de unos 12.000 habitantes de la provincia de Palermo en Sicilia, Italia. La localidad es conocida sobre todo por ser la cuna de los jefes de la Mafia Michele Navarra, Luciano Leggio, Leoluca Bagarella, Salvatore Riina y Bernardo Provenzano. También fue lugar de nacimiento de Vito Corleone, personaje ficticio de la novela El Padrino, de Mario Puzo. La Mafia ha dominado la comunidad local durante décadas, y solo recientemente se han rebelado algunos segmentos de la población contra su influencia. El 10 de agosto de 2016, el Gobierno italiano ordenó disolver el Ejecutivo Municipal por sus nexos con la Mafia, siendo el cuarto ejecutivo disuelto por estos motivos durante el gobierno de Mateo Renzi."
