Why in the thirtieth anniversary of the Capaci massacre I think it is important to tell the courage dthe Giovanni Falcone, by Paolo Borsellino he was born in anti-mafia pool to who in 1992 he was not born yet or maybe he was too young to remember.
“I wrote a novel about Giovanni Falcone, I wrote it for gratitude and for love. It is the first time in my life, because more often I have written out of anger, I have written to denounce. But this time no, this time I wrote so as not to forget not only what happened, but also the feelings that accompanied the fundamental years for the life of our country. And TikTok, for this tale, is the perfect place! Because TikTok is an important space for sharing what I consider most precious: stories, books, readings, lives. And right here I will continue my usual battles with the only weapon I know: the word. I hope that this space will soon become a community “.
