Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Review of Economic Studies Limited. Advance access publication 25 February 2019 Weak States: Causes and Consequences of the Sicilian Mafia Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/restud/article-abstract/87/2/537/5364272 by MIT Libraries user on 29 May 2020 DARON ACEMOGLU MIT GIUSEPPE DE FEO University of Leicester and GIACOMO DAVIDE DE LUCA University of York and LICOS, KU Leuven First version received January 2018; Editorial decision December 2018; Accepted February 2019 (Eds.) We document that the spread of the Mafia in Sicily at the end of the 19th century was in part caused by the rise of socialist Peasant Fasci organizations. In an environment with weak state presence, this socialist threat triggered landowners, estate managers, and local politicians to turn to the Mafia to resist and combat peasant demands. We show that the location of the Peasant Fasci is significantly affected by a severe drought in 1893, and using information on rainfall, we estimate the impact of the Peasant Fasci on the location of the Mafia in 1900. We provide extensive evidence that rainfall before and after this critical period has no effect on the spread of the Mafia or various economic and political outcomes. In the second part of the article, we use this source of variation in the strength of the Mafia in 1900 to estimate its medium-term and long-term effects.

  • The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki)
    The Classification of Sicilian Dialects: Language Change and Contact Silvio Cruschina (University of Helsinki) 1. Introduction The role of prescriptivism in inhibiting language change and in imposing a reduction in variation on the basis of linguistic norms has long been acknowledged. This emerges most clearly in the contemporary situation of standard languages, where variation across different dialects of the same language has been subject to a (relatively) successful prescriptive influence and to attempts by prescriptivists to preserve the standard language. The situation is somewhat different, however, for lower-prestige varieties and minority languages: the lack of a standard, and hence of prescriptive rules, coupled with the influence of the high-prestige language spoken in the same territory, provide favourable conditions and sometimes even triggers for language variation and change. This paper is concerned with the contemporary situation of Sicilian, where the traditional classification of its dialects comes up against cross-dialectal variation and the pace of language change. Despite constituting a distinct language of Italy, Sicilian has no official status and consequently no standard grammar or orthography. A significant number of differences, especially at the phonological level, allow the identification of several Sicilian dialects within the island: indeed, these differences have been used as the major criteria for the classification of the Sicilian dialects. In addition to the lack of a standard grammar and of prescriptive norms, Sicilian is in constant contact with Italian in a situation of diglossia: the two languages are used in different contexts and under different conditions by the same community (see Berruto 1987, Grassi 1993, Loporcaro 2009).

  • Tourism Demand in Sicilian Tourist Districts
    Rivista Italiana di Economia Demografia e Statistica Volume LXVI n. 2 Aprile-Giugno 2012 TOURISM DEMAND IN SICILIAN TOURIST DISTRICTS Vincenzo Asero, Rosario D’Agata, Venera Tomaselli 1. Introduction The heterogeneity of goods and services that make up a destination product along with the complex interactions that take place between firms, government agencies, tourists and residents characterize tourism as a system. Each tourist system may comprise one or more destinations in which facilities and services necessary to satisfy tourist needs are located as well as tourism resources. The breadth and size of a system are determined by market supply, but can be the result of spontaneous forms of territory organization, as happened in Italy, at the sub- regional level, for the Local Tourist Systems (LTS) and the Tourist Districts (TD). Tourism systems, therefore, can be of different scales and can have administrative and physical boundaries that define areas of responsibility of those subjects who have to worry about their management, although, sometimes, these boundaries may be more or less blurred. In Sicily, the concept of tourism as a system is reflected in tourist districts – “territorial” and “thematic” – defined on the basis of Regional Decree n. 4/2010 that establish criteria and procedures for their recognition, prescribing certain essential requirements. The model on which tourist districts are based follows a bottom-up approach, since it offers the opportunity for local stakeholders – public and private – to make a system through the autonomous definition of a geographic area and to identify a common project idea, accompanied by a development plan, in order to organize and manage the tourism offer within a given territory (Antonioli Corigliano, 1999).

Leave behind the bustling art-filled cities and archaeological sites that line the coasts of Sicily and step by step, village by village traverse one of Italy’s last frontiers. Leave your comfort zone aside, welcome the casual, unexpected and unorthodox. Stand in awe as this little-known but beloved, controversial island shows itself to you. The strength behind the Magna Via lies in the vast open landscapes and the people that live here. So, let me tell you about the people you will encounter: Young Totò, who will captivate you with his enthusiasm and philosophy, Giuseppe’s charisma and energy are so contagious that you won’t want to leave. Francesca will delight your senses with her famous “crostata” home-made jam tart and, of course, the “Professore”, as he lives and breathes the town’s history and will tell you all her tales and secrets. This historical route is the connection of the two major harbours of the past: Agrigento and Palermo, a system of “Trazzere” (old gravel roads) that linked every village of the backcountry.

Il Borgo Antonino Bonsignore è stato costruito negli anni 1937-1938 in località San Pietro, in territorio di Ribera; costruito, pertanto, in piena epoca fascista e successivamente intitolato al capitano dei carabinieri, nato ad Agrigento, medaglia d'oro, caduto in combattimento nel 1936 nella seconda battaglia dell’Ogaden (in Africa orientale).
