Join us for the launch of the book “Mafia, Deviant Masons and Corruption: Shifty Brotherhoods in Italy” by Anna Sergi and Alberto Vannucci and discuss the difficulties to see, study and understand the entanglements between mafia groups and deviant masonic lodges, together with institutional actors, in Italy at various times and latitudes.
