the organized crime with a lot of irony! The event is realized with true actors and performers). Don Tortellini, super boss of the Mafia, has just been victim of murder, and the several mafia clans (the so-called "Famiglie", the Families) are gathered in order to decide who will occupy his position, and of course in order to discover his murderer... Every table will represent therefore a Family, and each Family will try to pursue its own hidden purposes (make one of its members to be the new Godfather,
conclude the game with much more money than they had on the start, settle a combined wedding, etc). The game will be guided by a charismatic actor/presenter, revealing periodically new clues about the identity of the murderer, introducing at the same time new cues of the game... leaving space and time, of course, for encounter between the Families, for dealing and betrayal, swindle and conspiracy. At the end of the dinner, the Family achieving the largest number of goals will be declared winner of the game. "Mafia" is also available in deluxe version, comprising projections of the testament video of Don Tortellini, the videos of the security camera of Don Tortellini's house, and a lot more. A note of colour and additional fun that will astonish and involve your hosts even more! The dinner is however totally adaptable to whichever requirement and can be performed in a soft version for customers who do not want to actively participate the event; moreover a theatrical interval can be performed before the beginning of dinner with some our actors, performing monologues or duets, interacting with the guests, supplying clues for the resolution of the mystery, giving an ideal recall of the atmosphere of the tour.
