The death chamber, the sea chanting, the shouts, the thrusts of the harpoons, the thrashing of tons of tuna fish, the turbulence of the waters, the traditional bath of the tuna fishermen as they dived into the blood-red waters as a final act of thanksgiving for a good catch are all echoes of the past! This is to never forget the glorious period of sicilian history and the Mattanza, demonstrating the Mediterranean fisherman's labor, sacrifice, inventiveness and audacity. La camera della morte, I canti, le grida, il fruscio degli arpioni, l'ammasso di tonnellate di tonni, la turbulenza del mare, il tradizionale bagno nel sangue del tonno, sono eco del passato! Tutto questo per non mai dimenticare un periodo glorioso di storia siciliana, La Mattanza, e' dimostrazione del lavoro, inventivita', sacrifici e audacia dei tonnoroti.
