The board game "La Famiglia: The Great Mafia War" has ignited significant controversy in Italy, particularly among those connected to the anti-mafia movement. Maria Falcone, sister of slain judge Giovanni Falcone, condemned the game for its insensitivity towards the victims of mafia violence and those working to combat organized crime. The game allows players to embody mafia families and utilize violent tactics for dominance in Sicily, raising ethical concerns about its thematic content and trivialization of serious historical events.
"I don't understand how it is possible that someone thought of this game, which plays with the feelings of those who have lost their lives serving the state," Maria Falcone told the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
"This product not only offends the dignity of Sicilians but devalues the daily commitment of millions of citizens who fight for legality and justice in our region," wrote Alessandro De Leo.
