Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The museum of the Laboratory of Legality is in the building which was confiscated from the family of one of the biggest and most feared mob bosses of all time, Bernardo Provenzano. Bernardo was known as "Binnie the Tractor" because he was known to mow people down. He was extremely ruthless and on the run from the law from 1963 until his arrest in 2006. He was involved and convicted in two of the most famous bomb attacks that killed Italian prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino back in 1992.
Bernardo Provenzano is only one of the many stories told at the museum of the Laboratory of Legality. There is so much more and the focus of the museum is on the history of the Mafia and those who resisted the Mafia along with the anti-mafia movement today. The museum contains many paintings from Sicilian painter Gaetano Porcasi depicting the history and tragic events that have occurred over the decades.
On our visit on July 16, Marilena Bagarella met with us and spoke to us about the many paintings in the museum. She gave us a brief history of the Mafia and went into some details about the anti-mafia movement over the years. She was very informative and this was an educational experience for us. Marilena is the manager of the museum and she is very dedicated to her work. I'm really glad we got some time with her and we were able to learn more. Marilena told us that the museum was built with tons of symbolism in it from the floors to how the handrails up the stairs were designed. A lot of thought went into this museum.
I booked this tour through Addiopizzo Travel out of Palermo and the name of the tour is called “Corleone: Beyond the Mafia”. The tour takes you through Corleone and has a stop at this museum for approximately 45 minutes. Marilena Bagarella doesn't speak English, so our guide from Addiopizzo needed to interpret everything for us and her.
I highly recommend visiting this museum and wish we could go back now after researching some of the events and people that we heard about from Marilena.

This is a fantastic account of Mafia activity and of the brave souls who fought against them. Situated in a house confiscated from a Mafia member, it sits in a quiet street in Corleone. Our young guide was clearly passionate about the cause and gave us a fascinating account of key stories and characters along with an explanation of the symbolism in the building. Filled with vibrant, thought provoking art. A very moving and inspiring experience.

A highly interesting and informative tour of Corleone describing their resistance to the Mafia, culminating in a visit to their Museum based in a house confiscated from the Mafia where the history (past and present) of the struggle against the mafia was explained. The tour guide was very knowledgeable dedicated and committed to her subject.

Drove for over an hour from Cefalu on arrival the place was closed despite being there during the stated afternoon times of 15:30- 17:30. The views in the area are beautiful though.
