The “Falcone’s tree” initiative took place in the courtyard of the “Sanremo Centro Levante” comprehensive school.
“The Falcone Tree” arrives in schools to be planted to pass on the memory of the sacrifice of the judge killed by the mafia, raising awareness of social commitment, respect for legality and protection of the environment.
“Our institute – they say from the school – participate in this initiative to keep alive the memory of all those who paid with their lives in the fight against mafias and crime and testify to the commitment of students and all school staff for justice and environmental protection. The Tree of the future will live and grow luxuriant in our courtyard thanks to the fertile humus of honest people, who every day live following and respecting the law and will remind us and the future students of our school every day that legality must be planted, rooted , made prosperous and widespread everywhere. The first classes of the lower secondary school remember, with musical accompaniment, that May 23rd thirty-two years ago by retracing the last hours of Judge Falcone, his wife and the men of the escort on that stretch of motorway which then saw the their tragic death”.
“The students of the fifth classes of the Volta plexus remember the names of the victims of the Capaci attack – they add – unable not to recall the massacre, which occurred only two months later, which caused the death of judge Paolo Borsellino and five men from the escort. Even in the San Giacomo and San Pietro primary schools, the children of the fifth grades paid homage to the planting of the tree by reciting poems. We thank the “Libera Imperia” association and the Cites unit of the Imperia Carabinieri command for having supplied the trees, we thank the Imperia Prefecture, the Imperia Police Headquarters, the Sanremo and Imperia Carabinieri command, the police station of the State Police of Sanremo, the Port Authority, the command of the Guardia di Finanza, the municipality of Sanremo and the Liguria Regional Educational Office, for having participated, collaborated and shared this important event together with the educational institution. We also thank the teacher in charge of legality, Roberta Gambacorta, the digital animator teacher, Daniela Messina, the teacher Daniel and Stancampiano, the instrument teachers, Giovanni Guglielmino and Sergio Basilico, and the entire secretariat for having contributed to the success of the day”.
