PALERMO (ITALPRESS) – “I feel and experience the pride of being the son of the marshal, killed by the mafia, but alive and present in the memory of those who loved him and learned to know him”. Totò Burrafato, thus remembers his father Antonino, a marshal on duty at the Casa Circondariale dei Cavallacci in Termini Imerese, killed by a mafia commando on 29 June 1982. “My father was a good and simple person, a family man who had no I was afraid to say no to the mafia, says Totò Burrafato. A memory that will take shape tomorrow, 26 June 2024, at 6pm in the Malagodi room of the Luigi Einaudi Foundation, in conciliation in Rome, with the presentation of Totò Burrafato’s book entitled ‘ A whole different story’, centered on the figure of his father Antonino.
During the presentation, together with Burrafato, president of the board of directors of Gesap, the management company of the ‘Falcone Borsellino’ airport in Palermo, Giuseppe Benedetto, president of the Luigi Einaudi foundation, Andrea Delmastro delle Vedove, undersecretary of state at the ministry of Justice, Davide Giacalone, director of La Ragione. The meeting will be moderated by Andrea Cangini, general secretary of the Luigi Einaudi foundation. A second appointment, 42 years after the brutal murder, will concern the commemoration of Marshal Antonino, victim of duty and gold medal for civil merit in memory, with a Eucharistic celebration in repose on 29 June, at 6pm, in the parish of Sant’Antonio di Padova, in Termini Imerese, in the province of Palermo. “Memory, therefore, memory is fundamental. Unfortunately, it is easy for me to cultivate memory because the wound inflicted on my family is not one that can be healed. For this reason I will stubbornly continue to celebrate the memory of my father and that of all those killed in the fight against the mafia. It is a necessary duty, otherwise, sooner or later we will have to regret having claimed victory too soon”. – Photo Italpress -(ITALPRESS). col3/com 25-Jun-24 17:34 .
