This year, 2014, marks the 25th anniversary of Leonardo Sciascia, who died in November 1989. To kick-start the commemorations of the Sicilian writer, ISO is holding a workshop on two of Sciascia's most controversial and disturbing works, Il contesto (1971) and Todo modo (1974), and on the two films that were inspired by those two novels in 1976.
