(ANSA) - PALERMO, MAY 16 - "Mr. Judge, you must force yourself to think as I do. If you stay within the confines of your culture, of your principles, you will never understand how Cosanostra elaborates its plans".
This - said ex-magistrate Gioacchino Natoli, quoting the words spoken by the repentant Tommaso Buscetta - was a teaching that Giovanni Falcone had well understood.
"He - added Natoli - had an almost psychologist's approach to Buscetta, who for us was like a sort of 'Virgil' and allowed us to read the alphabet of the mafia".
These are some of the ideas that emerged during the conference on psychology as a tool to combat the mafia, organized last Saturday at the Botanical Garden of Palermo by the Order of Psychologists of the Sicilian Region.
The president of the court of Palermo AntonioBalsamo, the mayor Leoluca Orlando, the president of the regional order of psychologists Gaetana D'Agostino, the professor Girolamo Lo Verso and other professors and scholars took part in the meeting.
Natoli, who was part of the anti-mafia pool of the Palermo Public Prosecutor's Office, recalled the anecdote concerning him, Falcone and the repentant Tommaso Buscetta.
"We are happy for what has come out of this day of study - said the regional president of the Order of Psychologists Gaetana D'Agostino because a contamination has been created between legal and psychological professionals. We hope that this debate is only the first of further comparisons. that lead to concrete results in contrast to the mafia culture ".
