About this release
La storia vera di Leonardo Vitale, il primo pentito di mafia che decise di rompere il muro di omertà che impediva alla magistratura di penetrare il sistema mafioso. Vitale pagò questa scelta con il carcere, il manicomio giudiziario e poi con la vita, dato che la mafia, una volta tornato in libertà non esitò ad assassinarlo.

Drama
Leonardo Vitale was the first Cosa Nostra turncoat to cooperate with the authorities. In 1973, he denounced Totò Riina, Bernardo Provenzano, Michele Greco, and Vito Ciancimino to the police, but he could not withstand imprisonment and lost his sanity. He ended up spending a full ten years in a criminal lunatic asylum. Yet, upon his release, the Mafia—which has a long memory—showed that it had not forgotten him.
