Domenico Airoma, Public Prosecutor of Avellino; Valerio Montalbano, son of Giuseppe Montalbano, a doctor from Camporeale, killed on November 18, 1988, by order of Giovanni Brusca; Domenico Pace, inmate at Sulmona prison; Lia Sava, Attorney General of the Court of Appeals of Palermo; Paolo Tosoni, criminal lawyer. Concluding remarks by Fabio Pinelli, Vice President of the Superior Council of the Judiciary. Introduced by Salvatore Taormina, Cultural Editorial Staff of the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples.

In ideal continuity with the 2022 exhibition on Rosario Livatino and the 2023 event on Don Giuseppe Puglisi, this meeting aims to compare the experiences of a family member of an innocent mafia victim and a man serving time for mafia crimes. Both protagonists, from opposing perspectives, have experienced the Christian encounter as a factor of paradoxical novelty. With reflections from professionals in the justice sector, the proposed dialogue intends to highlight the stages of a journey where the experienced drama can reveal itself as a factor of repentance and conversion, showing the Church’s specific contribution in resisting structures of sin and mafia power, as recalled by Saint John Paul II in Agrigento and Pope Francis in Palermo.
