Giuseppe Pino Puglisi (September 15 1937 – September 15 1993) was a Roman Catholic priest in the rough Palermo neighbourhood of Brancaccio. He openly challenged the Mafia who controlled the neighbourhood and was killed by them 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 In the Sunlight (2005).
