1947 - Portella della Ginestra - 1997


On May 1st, 1947 Salvatore Giuliano and his gang massacred 11 people reunited at Portella della Ginestra to celebrate Workers' day, many more were seriously wounded.
Giuliano wasn't the only responsable of this someway misterious massacre, it seems some killers augmented his band on that occasion and even now, 60 years after, people who gave him the order are unknown, at least ufficially.
In 1997 Sicilian CGIL issued this album commemorating that tragic event
