Giuseppe "Pino" Puglisi (Italian pronunciation:[ˈpiːnopuʎˈʎiːzi], Sicilian:[pʊɟˈɟiːsɪ]; 15 September 1937 – 15 September 1993) was a Roman Catholic priest in the rough Palermo neighbourhood of Brancaccio. He openly challenged the Sicilian Mafia who controlled the neighbourhood, and was killed by them on his 56th birthday. His life story has been retold in a book, Pino Puglisi, il prete che fece tremare la mafia con un sorriso (2013), and portrayed in a film, Come Into the Light (Italian original title Alla luce del sole) in 2005. He is the first person killed by the Mafia who has been beatified by the Catholic Church.[1]
