The Godfather Mafia Dinner (gala dinner).
"The Godfather Mafia Dinner" is a gala dinner - show - team building, usually performed inside the famous Castle of the Slaves, (where Francis Ford Coppola shot some of the most important scenes of the saga of the Godfather). It will pull your hosts in the dark meanders of 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. "Godfather Mafia Dinner" 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.
Crime Scene.
Crime Scene follows the international trend of tv-hits like "C.S.I. - Crime Scene Investigation" or "Navy N.C.I.S". It is an appointment with the most recent investigative techniques, lasting 2-4 hours. A crime has just happened and your guests will face evidences, proofs and clues. Participants, under the expert guide of a professional, will use chemical compounds, ultraviolet lights, and especially, a great amount of logical insight. Will your guests succeed to solve the mystery? Realized with the collaboration of the Ph.D. Salvatore Gentile, this event uses the same instruments and reagents of the American FBI. Crime Scene is an instructive and pleasant experience, suited for groups of 5-100 people.

Piazza di Sicilia.
"It is impossible to get the soul of the thousand Trinacria, not in one day, not in one thousand years", these are the words written by a historian of the beginning of 1900, in reference to the fact that Sicily is the land of one thousand invasions, one thousand conquers, one thousand aspects, one thousand cultures. Piazza di Sicilia, openly contradicting this celebrated phrase, is going to take you into the heart of the Trinacria in a gastronomic journey, through sweet-and-wine, giving you taste of each on a buffet resembling the shape of Sicily, offering you a specialty of each place. A daring exploration of the fine Sicilian confectionary tradition, to accompany an elegant and unusual game (also available in team-building version) taking guests/participants to guess the names, the origin, the ingredients, the preparation and the amenities of each served specialty, while traditional dancers and singers perform their shows. It is impossible to get the soul of the thousand Trinacria, not in one day, not in one thousand years. Or, maybe, it is, in the short time of a dinner. Piazza di Sicilia is also available with a complete lunch or dinner. It is possible to perform Piazza di Sicilia with add-ons such as: Folklore bands, typical Sicilian storytellers, or transportation of the guests in typical Sicilian chariots.
