"The thought of death accompanies me everywhere. But, as Montaigne, It soon becomes second nature. Certain, you're on your toes, It is estimated, We observe, There is organized, you avoid repetitive behaviour, is getting away from the crowds and from any situation that cannot be kept under control. But it also buys a good dose of fatalism; at the bottom you die for many reasons, a car accident, a plane explodes in flight, an overdose, cancer and also for no particular reason».
Giovanni Falcone responds in this way to a question about the possibility of an attack against him. As always, in front of the cameras, the judge retains an attitude compounded, a smile politely, not exuding any emotion. Are the years of the maxi trial, difficult years for Giovanni Falcone. The landmark ruling, more than two thousand years in jail for the defendants and nineteen life sentences throughout the Sicilian Mafia Commission, instead of elevating heroes Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino isolated them even more. In 1988 the High Council of the judiciary States that will be Mahesh Mahesh and not Falcone, to replace Calvert. Giovanni is once again rejected, as was the case at the beginning of the eighties, After the death of Rocco Chinnici, He preferred Calvert. Meli the curtain falls on the experience of the pool and returns to the old unsuccessful mafia investigation methods. Borsellino publicly denounces the State of things, Conversely receives the meeting request from C.S. M. alongside Meli. The pool, Although limping, He was put back on feet. This is not helped break the isolation of man more danger for the mafia, for one who has devoted his life to fighting for the State. In 1989 the failed assassination attempt at Addaura represents the pinnacle of the sense of isolation around the figure of Falcone: not just part of the power of Attorney, the same colleagues and the State does not show solidarity with judge, but he is alleged to have procured alone, the attack. It's the beginning of the end, Falcone takes a job in Rome at the Ministry of Justice, Criminal Affairs section. Falcone in Rome are building a super proxy capable of channeling, centralize and optimize the investigations of the mafia. Unfortunately, however, the 23 may the mafia (or not only the mafia, but it was mafia – CIT. Paolo Borsellino, speech at the public library of Palermo, June 1992) He ended the life of John, Francesca, Rocco, Antonio, Vito.
The man who dreamed of defeating the mafia by applying the law died, because that dream I was making. So who cares that Falcone was sleeping only, on the floor, with a gun for fear of an attack at night, He received several warnings that threats, who said that to be credible we must be dead.
The reporter writes down the answers of Falcone, brief and concise, betrayed only by the movement of the mustache. One more question, the last "have you ever had a moment of discouragement, any questions about, the temptation to give up this fight?”
"No, never "Giovanni Falcone.
