=== Mafia and anti-Mafia Museum of Corleone === The CIDMA museum (''Centro Internazionale di Documentazione sulla Mafia e del Movimento Antimafia'') was inaugurated on 12 December 2000, in the presence of the highest authorities of the Republic, including the President of the Republic [[Carlo Azeglio Ciampi]] and the deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations [[Pino Arlacchi]], on behalf of Secretary-General [[Kofi Annan]]. The CIDMA intends to pursue "Culture, Progress and Legality" as its objectives. CIDMA has several rooms for visitors: Room of the Folders of the [[Maxi Trial]] ({{langx|it|Maxiprocesso di Palermo}}), the Room of the Messages, the Room of Pain and the final room dedicated to [[Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa]], an Italian general who campaigned against terrorism and was assassinated by the Mafia. The first room contains Maxi-Trial documents which marked a milestone in the fight against [[Cosa Nostra]]. The documents, given to Corleone by the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Palermo, are a testimony to the work of magistrates like [[Giovanni Falcone]] and [[Paolo Borsellino]] who paid with their lives for their commitment to the fight against the Mafia. Among the folders there are the confessions of the famous ''[[pentito]]'' ("repentant") [[Tommaso Buscetta]] to Judge Falcone. In the Room of the Messages, visitors may see the photos of the well-known, Sicilian photographer [[Letizia Battaglia]] who had the courage to go on site to capture tragic photographs of Mafia murders. She was able to capture significant details that made her shots documents detailing the murder methods used by the Mafia in the 1970sβ1980s. The different positions of the bodies allow visitors to reconstruct the Mafia's strategy. The Room of Pain houses a permanent exhibition of Shobha, Letizia Battaglia's daughter, who followed in her mother's footsteps, taking photos of the dismay, helplessness, and despair felt by those who have lost someone at the hands of the Mafia. In the room there are also photos of Letizia Battaglia documenting Mafia crimes. This approach allows visitors to understand the cause-effect relationships that exist between the crimes and the consequences they produce in the lives of affected families and the entire community. The room Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa is dedicated to General Dalla Chiesa. It contains photos of some of the main bosses of the Mafia placed side by side with those in the legal system who fought organized crime. Local guides also offer tours through the CIDMA.
