Our tour of Capaci starts from the dutiful memory of the 1992 Massacre: the first stop is at the Garden of Memory, built on the place where the highway was torn by TNT and where some locals spontaneously ran as soon as they heard the explosion.
Among them, Antonio, who as a young photographer witnessed an event that changed his life forever. His words make us immediately enter a hot period in the history of Italy, and tell us a story that is still “alive”.
We then move to the famous Casina NO MAFIA: the climb we travel, between villas and uncultivated land, takes us, along the mountain, towards one of the most evocative views of the province of Palermo.
Such beauty contrasts with the story of the dynamics of the attack on May 23, 1992, in which judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife and three of the escort officers lost their lives. The facts narrated are intertwined with the still unsolved mysteries of a massacre of enormous complexity, carried out in ways never seen before in the previous Cosa Nostra attacks.
At the foot of the Casina, the mafia commando prepared the attack and triggered the explosion with a remote control. And right here, following the massacre, a group of citizens of Capaci felt the need to send a clear message: armed with ladder and paint, they wrote NO MAFIA in large letters on the wall, so that it was clear to all those who traveled the highway that not all Sicilians are mafia.
These are years of rebirth that have led an entire generation to express their NO to the mafia in the course of events and commemorations, and subsequently to bring their commitment to associations.
The return to the starting point gives us the opportunity to take a short tour of Capaci, between restaurants and typical delicatessens, gardens redeveloped and equipped for play and sport by local associations, the delightful Mother Church and various murals. The country has not forgotten the years of the massacre, but strongly wants to redeem itself and follow its tourist vocation, welcoming travelers from all over the world.
