Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of commissioner Luigi Calabresi, shot dead by a commando in front of his house.
Giorgio Pietrostefani, one of the former terrorists arrested in France, was convicted of his murder.
A year ago, on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of his death, the commissioner's son, the journalist Mario Calabresi published a long interview with his mother Gemma Capra.
"Every May 17th at a quarter past nine, I look at the time and say 'here, now'".
"Now he goes out of the house, now they kill him - she continues -. I think I have never skipped even a year, to stay there waiting for that moment. And for the rest, yes, I have distanced myself because I am convinced that memory is very important but memory is not static. Memory has legs, it has to walk and therefore we have to make it live in the present by remembering his humor, his jokes. Because he was really a Roman full of life. And his examples , his testimonies, his passions. Here, this is the memory brought into the life of every day. But without staying still on that day, or on what they did to us because otherwise you won't get out of it ".
