Paolo Borsellino, the man with idea
I never asked to deal with the Mafia. I entered by accident. And then there was a moral issue. The people around me died.
Today marks the eighteenth anniversary of the attack in Via d'Amelio they died Paolo Borsellino and five police officers of his escort. But who was
Paolo Borsellino ?
Judge Borsellino was a man who had the courage to fight for an idea, that of a new Sicily, free of oppressive shadow of the Mafia in a time when everyone was deaf, dumb and blind .
His death has awakened something in the minds of not only children but also in Sicily that of all the children of Italy. Something knew of rebellion, collective action.
Falcone and Borsellino in young people have planted the seeds for a new Sicily and for a new Italy that will sprout and become like home Falcone.

The fight against the Mafia be primarily a cultural movement that get used all feel the beauty of the fresh scent of freedom which opposes the stench of moral compromise, indifference, contiguity and thus complicity.
The fight against the Mafia is not impossible and should not be carried on in silence. The fight against the Mafia is a fight made in broad daylight, by men and women who believe it and, especially, can be won. But to win you need to stop being silence, you have to raise their hand and say, raise your hand if necessary.
We must never forget men like Paolo Borsellino, Giovanni Falcone, Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, Liviatino Rosario, Rocco Chinnici and many others.
Forgetting, not interested and idolize people like Toto Riina, the Mafia is how to win.
The mafia is a virus and young people have the vaccine.
Today on television I have seen many young people with Agenda Red Paolo Borsellino, a symbol of the URL for the Judge, in his hand. This is what I would like to see more often, that's why people like Paolo Borsellino were killed.
I would like to see such things more often and less statues of Judges Falcone and Borsellino destroyed and dispossessed from their pedestals, as it happens.
I would like to see more red diary (if you did not know, the judge wrote everything on an agenda that was red stolen after the attack in Via d'Amelio and has never been found) that games and movies on the life the Mafia.
And, like many who are and were, I wish I could say " The Mafia does not exist" and I read the newspaper, see on the news and hear on the radio. Only then, many heroes of the struggle against the Mafia can rest in peace.
It is said that the Judge Borsellino held in the portfolio a sheet of paper with these words written above:
"You can stop a man but the strength of his ideas in other people lives"
Paolo Borsellino, Giovanni Falcone, Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, Liviatino Rosario, Rocco Chinnici and many others have died but their ideas live in us.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
then I take this opportunity to a new initiative. I am looking for writers interested in producing an anthology that will be made available free of charge by focusing not so much stories about heroes of the struggle against the Mafia, but what attracted these young heroes called "Mafia Today" I hope to receive subscriptions.
