The sign is in the square where the socialist Paolo Mirmina (1897-1920) was murdered in 1920, who was active in the struggle of the Sicilian peasants and workers. His actions were not liked by the landowners and the Sicilian mafia who assassinated him on October 3, 1920.

The sign was placed on the 24th anniversary of his murder.

The square was photographed on the same day by the same photographer, in the picture the fountain and Statua madonna (statue of Madonna) appear and behind it the sign Click for a larger image
