sayitaliano: plurilinguismo: 23 May 1992: Strage di Capaci23 years ago, on this day, the judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and three men of Falcones’ security guard, Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo, and Antonio Montinaro, were assassinated by Cosa Nostra near Palermo.Following the verdict of life-long sentences for many mafiosi in the Maxi-trial of January 1992 (led by Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, in the picture above, among others), 0,2 tons of explosive material were put under the highway A29 near the exit for Capaci, where the cars of judge Falcone and his security guard were to pass.The car of the security guard was thrown out of the highway by the explosion, while the car driven by the judge hit the wall of concrete that had been raised by the explosion. It’s now 30 years ago, but we don’t forget. A short video in Italian about that day HERE. -- source link
