“Yesterday morning, in Pomezia, moments of emotion, reflection and reflection – we read in the press note – dedicated to the values ​​of Legality.

Over 800 students from the middle and high schools of Pomezia and Torvajanica, together with hundreds of citizens, local associations and a parterre of institutional guests welcomed the “Quarto Savona Diecici” display case in the center of the city.

An “itinerant” monument throughout Italy which houses the remains of the car (a white Fiat Croma) of judge Giovanni Falcone’s escort, hit by the explosion of 23 May 1992, during the Capaci attack.

During which judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and the escort agents Antonio Montinaro, Vito Schifani and Rocco Dicillo lost their lives.

Just as the Quarto Savona Dieci did not stop, neither do we as administrators, institutions, representatives of the judicial system, citizens.

Each with their own role in today’s society in the fight against organized crime – continued the Mayor.

And this happens not only by trying to solve the city’s problems on a daily basis to make it more liveable. But we also do it through events like today’s. So that they can be a collective celebration of values ​​that we pass on to our children and that they will have the task of safeguarding, treasuring and passing on to those who come after them.”
