· – In closing, at 5.00 pm, it was the turn of Raffaele Iacaruso, deputy superintendent of the Novara forensics department, to talk about his new work Identikit of the invincibles – Il Grande Torino created with the author’s drawings made with a simple pen Bic; with his drawings, Iacaruso tells the legend of the “Invincibles” of Grande Torino which was interrupted on 4 May 1949 with the tragic plane crash on the Superga hill of which this year marks the 75th anniversary, also recently remembered in the first stage of the Giro d’Italia, which started from the Piedmontese capital, whose route included a passage through the crash site.
At the State Police exhibition area, it was also possible to learn more about the graphic novel Inspector Mascherpa, an editorial product of the Poliziamoderna magazine, now in its sixth volume, Christmas Fire, where Commissioner Diamante will have to investigate the murder of an entrepreneur killed with a Kalashnikov shot after his factory was set on fire, a real mafia-style warning. The comic, conceived as an educational vehicle of legality towards young people, is also an instrument of solidarity since the proceeds from the sale are destined for the Marco Valerio Plan, a project created to provide concrete support for the treatment of serious and chronic pediatric diseases in the children of employees of the State Police. At the stand it is possible to purchase the 6 volumes (The Silver Rose, Black Sea, Bandits, Onorata Sanità and The Return of the Scorpion and Christmas Fire) as well as Murky Waters and Big Game, volumes published in English.
