May 9, 1978 - May 9, 2009. The year was 1978. May 9. A few days before the election and after exposure to a documented photo exhibition on the devastation wrought by land speculators and mafia groups.
The body of Peppino Impastato, was found torn to pieces by a charge of TNT placed on the rails of the railway line Palermo-Trapani. Some speak of
terrorist attack, those of a suicide.
In 1992, the 'case Impastato' is checked in, after repeating the matrix of the mafia crime, but ruled out the possibility of identifying the culprits and suggested the possible liability of the mafia Cinisi allies of the "Corleone."
Only in 2001 after a trial process that lasted nearly 23 years Vito Palazzolo was convicted material Impastato murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. The following year, Gaetano Badalamenti, while serving a sentence of 45 years in American prisons, it is clearly indicated as the instigator of the crime and is sentenced to life imprisonment.
's been 31 years since his death, ma la lotta contro la mafia attuata da Peppino Impastato, è impossibile da dimenticare. Così come i suoi 100 passi che lo separavano dalla vergogna del suo paese, e del nostro Paese.
E’ diritto e dovere di tutti, nonché una necessità, rinnovare la memoria di Peppino e delle sue gesta, ricordandolo come esempio esemplare da seguire di straordinario impegno politico, sociale e culturale.
