I visited a former palace in Palermo, which had been used as a prison by the Inquisition. The prisoners wrote graffiti on the walls, which is surprisingly clear and neat.
One of the prisoners, Francesco Mannarini had converted to Islam, possibly under duress, then found himself back in Christian Sicily and before the Inquisition. A lose/lose if ever there was one.
