Dal manifesto di oggi copio volentieri:

Alessandro Robecchi - Voi siete qui

Mentre a Roma i gloriosi padani appoggiano il governo Bunga Bunga, nelle loro terre, in Veneto, i fiumi straripano alla grande, le città si allagano tipo Venezia, capannoni, laboratori e fabbrichette sono inagibili. Niente male come controllo del territorio, la tanto sbandierata specialità dei leghisti, che questa volta, perdonerete la metafora, ha fatto acqua da tutte le parti. Il governatore Zaia con il cappello in mano chiede un miliardo all’odiato stato centrale: il Veneto ai veneti, per carità, ma gli schei che vengano da Roma.

In Marco Tullio Giordana's movie, the house of young anti-Mafia journalist Giuseppe "Peppino" Impastato, in Cinisi near Palermo, just went a hundred steps away from the Mafia boss Tano Badalamenti's own home. A small distance which made a clear symbol of how the lives of everyone in the little town were bound to the Mob. Peppino's own father, Luigi, was a man of honor and so was his uncle Cesare Manzella, blown up by a bomb in his car when Peppino was a child.

Blown up on the railroad tracks himself, on the same night of the killing of Aldo Moro, Peppino Impastato was long libeled as a terrorist killed by his own bomb, and it was his friends' and his mother Felicia's long battle to let the truth be known and have boss Tano given a life sentence for the killing of her son.

Now, exactly 32 years after Peppino's killing, the hundred steps have been taken! Zu Tano's house has been assigned to Casa Memoria, the association founded by late Felicia and Peppino's brother Giovanni to preserve the memory of Peppino's struggle and keep up the fight against Mafia!

A nemesis which was long overdue!

But it's not the only good piece of news!

Casablanca, the quality monthly magazine founded by Riccardo Orioles and Graziella Proto which keeps up the tradition of good anti-mafia journalism started by late Giuseppe Fava, is back on print!

In my disgraced country, people are led to believe that, as long as Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah or brilliant Sabina Guzzanti's documentary Draquila have success, it means that you make easy money with antimafia! Poor, poor slandered mafia bosses!

Well, is so it is, as they say in Tuscany, let's kick the cripples on the shins! You can subscribe and read Casablanca and so help Riccardo's team of young grassroots journalists lose their political integrity by not giving their blood to pay for their toner and phone bills! Help make the struggle against Mafia more and more glamorous! :-p
