here I start with a sentence of Paul
purse as I was
introduced with a phrase from giovanni
falcon so I also explain the reason
of my presence here paolo borsellino
he once said, answering one
question he had not asked to
deal with the mafia had entered us for
case and then there was left for a problem
morality people died around here me
I do not know, I never asked to take care of it
Mafia I entered by chance I had
fill 9 credits on the study plan
at the University
and then I stayed there for a problem
moral I was ashamed to be
antimafioso only on May 23 in
anniversaries of the massacres today start the
my talk with this bench
this is a normal bench
you probably would also find it
more beautiful along the front thames
at the tech modena but this bench la
particularity that is the bench on the
which I was sitting on October 4th of four
years ago when at a particular time
of my life
decided to abandon one of the
most prestigious universities in the world
because I could not study what
I had gone there in theory to do that
to study the geopolitical role of the
mafias internationally because
a dog told me roughly a shop
leasing is tight
that is, we do not take care of the boys in the
roads because for them the concept
was that the mafia is nothing but league
juveniles who have all
and in the suburbs of London and me
writhing to the fact that not really
I could not understand how they did not understand
the various consequences at the political level
economic aspect of the Mafia presence
at the local national level but
especially at the international level
then criminal trafficking with one
movement of millions of euros and for
then there from that disorientation I have
understood that in reality the problem did not
it was not even their problem that was not
they had the knowledge they did not know how
know that problem and despite
all in Italy despite all the
we’re not 30 years old
knowledge of the fight against the mafia and drift
also from the blood of many people who
they gave their lives to fight against
mafia is where the idea of ??
mafia votes ie do in the field
scientific academic what in
judicial juridical field had done
rocco chinnici with the anti-mafia pool
reorganize centralize put
all the knowledge in one place
reliable and communicate it in a manner
quick and simple to everyone because for
this let’s allow anyone in
free manner of
know and understand a phenomenon
complex like that mafia because
in the end this war because we
we are at war you can fight
only with the knowledge why not
you can obviously fight for strength
of things an enemy when he is not
you know nobody would ever go to war
without knowing the enemy
unfortunately very often this happens and
to make you understand what we do with
wiki mafia us completed and to the fight
the mafia is a consequence of us
at first I started myself and everyone
the other working guys called
we started because we wanted to
defend the beauty of this country
because in spite of everything we at Italy
we care and think it’s a
a country worth living in
so much so that we’re back I’m not
I stayed in London and I came back from Milan
and so I show you this sunset
this sunset
you can admire 40 km from Milan and
in a Montevecchia town from which
you can on a hill you can admire
all the brianza and the skyline of Milan
this is a way of seeing this
sunset taken this year 6
January
and one of the many ways, however, because
what I have link included in four
years of work with wiki mafia that the
reality is never what it seems
because above all the different beauty
We have already talked about these perspectives
first as a need for change
perspective and this is another way
to see this sunset
I called him the eye of God because
I’m artistic enough but this is it
a way to see the same sunset and
there are several ways to see it
same sunset to grasp the beauty
in even in small things this is a
detail
yet probably the most beautiful photo
of the previous one
yet in this photo where you see the
beauty of that panorama
but if in this there is the
bad as you say evil if there is evil
because from that hill you see
that stupendous view but inside there
in that dark part that you do not see
because clearly in sunsets to
twilight of the sunset veil covers there are
concrete castings that are not different
from those that have devastated the basin
palermo gold is the ndrangheta that
shoot that kills kills destroy the
future of thousands of people but
above all you would find the omertà not
different from what there is maybe a
corleone
because what these gentlemen do
when they arrive in a territory it is not
simply to bring them
money then their business or their methods
they modify the genetic structure
of society and then if and is one
unstoppable process
because as Giovanni falcone said for
having the mafia mentality is not
It is necessary to be a criminal in fact
what is happening today is that the
mafia mentality has overflowed and is
arrived even where typically that
mafioso phenomenon you would not expect it
and it has not been for at least 50 years since
first fact of Lombard mafias dates back to
1956 and was related to the traffic of
diamonds
we also put this bale for which
the mafia exists only here in Sicily
they are everywhere, everywhere and you
you will say but then how do we do?
defeat them with the knowledge why
this what I learned why
only through knowledge if
there is one thing that drives me crazy and
know that we can know but
above all to know that the people can
rebel because you can rebel
how we rebel by showing him that
there is an alternative to their system of
power has already happened because how
antonio gramsci used to say culture is
the only way they have the masses for
rebel against the bosses and with the mafia not
It’s different and you’ll say it’s easy to
say sure it is not easy if it were
easy we would all do it and it is here that
is the problem but always remember
that however difficult it may be
he can always do something for example
look at the stars rather than the
our feet, for example, face them
high head think it’s worth a
take flight and think about a company
different from that which we have forced
in not only here in Sicily but also on
North
these gentlemen instead of staying still and
think that now and 6 thousand skillful that the
things are so that they must
go so sure to change things
you have to pay a price and yet I think
that the price is right to pay for it too
if there are any risks
now I’ll show you something else
that we did with wiki mafia is one
I did not do the most beautiful things
this is the biggest section on the
maxi palermo process never created at
world, you know who did it did it
a 17-year-old boy three and a half years old
ago that a scandal left his time
free has invested his free time
for three months and made this voice
that has been seen hundreds of thousands
times and has informed many people
so when he says what I can do
a 17-year-old boy did this
you are not even this one too
beauty, the commitment we are at last
we are all a big family hermes
thomas alessandro chiara adele all
we are a family but it does not bind us to
blood gives us faith belief in the
fact that the end will win us because
if young people organize themselves yes
seize every branch of knowledge
they fight alongside the workers and the
oppressed there is no escape for an old man
order based on privilege
on these injustices that you
very often defined as a hero, I heard
define heroes
this is the first mistake they were not heroes
it was neither heroes who were people
normal as we were normal people
like us with ours of theirs
weaknesses and also their merits but that
extraordinary nature of what they have
done it was not die because the
their extraordinary nature does not lie in the
death but it is in the fact of how they have
lived in the fact that they have every day
simply made their trade with
honesty for this is not enough to do the
fight against the mafia is not enough, it is also necessary
do it with the same rigor
moral consistency with which they did it
because the mafia can also win
all the judicial battles be
absolved due to insufficient evidence but
there is a battle that will not win
never and is the fundamental one for
win the war and it’s daily
battle that each of us engage
every morning with his own mirror with the
we have a duty to not battle
never lose it for ourselves but for
this sacrifice and above all for
those who will come after us because
we are nothing but seeds them
they killed but they did not kill them
they are truly his seeds and ours
hair but were signs have blossomed
wiki mafie ma tema theme are two tools
they are two of those signs and that’s why
reason that you can always do something
you think what I can do
you can do something about the regulatory plans
the engineers and the engineers sign
architects the millions of euros that come
moved by tax havens
move financial operators
graduates in economics
and this is something absurd that the less
the university does not talk about it like that
if you are very happy to stop studying the
cancer an absurd stuff if you think about it
a discipline so ignored one
social disease so pervasive that it does not
is studied
that’s why we do what
we do but you can do something to
example even from ordinary citizens for
example not going to buy in
certain places or not giving the vote a
politician who has not chatted
we need the sentences of the
magistratura will be these things
because we must always wait for that
you can get the magistracy already
hit them in the living tissue of theirs
business without needing to do anything if
not simply our duty to
citizens and professionals and can
there are moments of discouragement disc
where you think why it’s not worth it
punishment
it happened to me recently to think of it
it was all a series of vicissitudes
yet always remember the words of
a great president of the republic
that he was also a partisan that a
young people like us said thirty years ago
sometimes in life it is not necessary
know how to fight only without fear but also
without hope so we defended the
freedom and we have regained it
behold I say that we too today
we must defend this freedom
thank you
[Applause]
