Explaination:

The article talks about an extraordinary session of the Anti-Mafia Commission at the Regional Assembly of Sicily (ARS) in Capaci, open to the public, to revitalize a collective commitment. The meeting, organized by President Antonello Cracolici, takes place 32 years after the massacre in which Giovanni Falcone, Francesca Morvillo, and their security agents Rocco Dicillo, Antonio Montinaro, and Vito Schifani were killed by the Mafia.

Cracolici emphasized the importance of not only commemorating the event but also actively building a memory with the municipalities, which serve as outposts of legality. He highlighted the ongoing battle against the influence of Mafia organizations, which still hold power in illicit activities and infiltrate the economic and institutional systems.

The meeting was attended by the presidents of the Anti-Mafia Commission of the Regional Councils of Campania and Lombardy, the provincial committee for law and order, the mayor of Palermo Roberto Lagalla, the mayors of the municipalities in the metropolitan city of Palermo, and many citizens.

The President of the Anti-Mafia Commission of Lombardy, Paola Pollini, emphasized the importance of unity in the fight against the Mafia from North to South. The President of the Anti-Mafia Commission of Campania, Carmela Rescigno, highlighted the commission’s commitment to implementing strategies and creating institutional synergies.

The mayor of Capaci, Pietro Puccio, noted the significance of the meeting and the unity in the battle against the Mafia. He mentioned that the massacre in 1992 was a turning point that made everyone realize the Mafia’s hindrance to Sicily’s development.
