Passatempo

Passatempo (died 1948) was a Sicilian bandit and a member of Salvatore Giuliano's band during the 1940s. Passatempo was infamous for his violence, murdering the uncle who gave him his first donkey before turning to banditry. In 1943, he and his companion Antonio Terranova were rescued from the Bellampo barracks by Salvatore Giuliano. In 1947, he and Terranova were bribed by Don Croce Malo to carry out the Portella della Ginestra massacre, sabotaging Giuliano's popularity among the Sicilian left. In response, Giuliano had Passatempo executed.
