In the 1960s, Sicily experienced a period of sharp contrasts, suspended between modernization and tradition. The island remained largely tied to an agricultural economy and archaic way of life, especially in rural areas, while the cities began to experience the first signs of industrial development and urbanization. Emigration and depopulation deeply mark the decade: many Sicilians left the island in search of work in northern Italy or abroad. On a cultural level, Sicily remained a living hub of intellectuals and artists-from Leonardo Sciascia to Renato Guttuso-who powerfully recounted the social and political contradictions of the time. The weight of the Mafia, still often silenced or underestimated, coexists with the ferment of a society that, despite difficulties, was seeking new ways of emancipation and change.
