Many people when they think of Italy and Sicily, they immediately think of the Mafia,
there have been many mafiosi, but not all citizens are dishonest.  
Indeed, many of them have risked and even lost their lives to defend their ideals and own homeland and one of these is Giovanni Falcone.

Giovanni Falcone is an Italian magistrate of Sicilian origin,
who was born in Palermo on May 18, 1939 and  died on May 23, 1992 in Palermo due to a plot
organized by the mafia.

The mafia is a criminal organization that lives mainly on extortion and illicit trade.
The main characteristic of the mafia is that of insinuating itself into the social and economic life             of a country, coming to forge alliances with politics and with state officials.

I think that the mafia is one of the greatest dangers in the world, because it manages to intervene in politics,
sports...
The mafia can only be defeated if we unite and courageously abandon the silence people keep,
which is the strongest weapon of the mafia.
