Corriere della Sera 20 July 1992
Today is the anniversary of Paolo Borsellino's assassination on the 19th of July 1992. I wasn't old enough to remember this day, but my mum says she can still remember watching the horrific events on the news all those years ago. Less than two months after the murder of his fellow prosecutor friend, Giovanni Falcone, Borsellino was targeted by the mafia and brutally killed. Both men died by car bombs; Falcone with his wife and three bodyguards, Borsellino with five policemen.
Here is the blog I wrote earlier on for the anniversary of Giovanni Falcone's death, with information about both Paolo Borsellino and Rita Atria also. Amazing people whose lives were cut short much too prematurely. http://allthedaysordained.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/giovanni-falcone-paolo-borsellino-and.html
'Chi ha paura muore ogni giorno, chi non ha paura muore una volta sola.'
'Those who are scared die everyday, those who are not scared die only once.'
