Giuseppe "Pino" Puglisi (Italian: [ˈpiːno puʎˈʎiːzi], Sicilian: [pʊɟˈɟiːsɪ]; 15 September 1937 – 15 September 1993) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who openly challenged the Sicilian Mafia controlling his Palermo neighbourhood of Brancaccio. The Mafia killed him on his 56th birthday. His life story has been retold in a book, Pino Puglisi, il prete che fece tremare la mafia con un sorriso (2013), and portrayed in a film, Come into the Light (Italian original title Alla luce del sole) in 2005. He was the first Mafia victim to be beatified by the Catholic Church.
