23 May 2024
With these words by Giovanni Falcone, Secretary-General Michele Capasso and Senator Giuseppe Lumia opened a day of commemoration and commitment that saw the United States of the World headquarters and the Museum of Peace take centre stage with the participation of many young people.
"1992, said Lumia, was the bloodiest year of the Mafia offensive against State institutions. The Mafia killed Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two magistrates most active in the fight against Cosa Nostra. In the Capaci massacre, which took place exactly 32 years ago, Falcone was killed along with his wife, Francesca Morvillo, and the three men of his escort, Rocco Di Cillo, Vito Schifani, and Antonio Montinaro; in the Via D'Amelio massacre in Palermo, Borsellino and the five men of his escort, Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina, lost their lives".
