"It is essential to remember all the innocent victims of criminal mafia violence. It is a day that we strongly wanted, but we must not forget that 80% of these family members do not know the truth or know only a part of it. Yet the truths walk around in the streets of our city, there are those who have seen, there are those who know", says Don Luigi Ciotti.
"Then it is necessary for us to become aware, in our country, that the criminal mafia presence that has killed so many people is a problem that cannot be forgotten. But there is a need
for a living memory
- he continued - It is not an event, it's not a ceremony, it's not just a procession. We make sure that every year there is a day that reminds us of this, but every day there must be a commitment from everyone".
