The Italian Pavillion left me with a strong impression of a country that has been battling for the longest time, battling that elusive oppressive order know as the "mafia".
"The mafia is oppression, arrogance, greed, self enrichment, power and hegemony, above and against all others. It is not an abstract concept, or a state of mind, or a literary term...it is a criminal organization regulated by unwritten but iron and inexorable rules. The myth of a courageous and generous 'man of honour' must be destroyed, because a mafioso is just the opposite."
