A day, the third of plots, particularly attentive to reflection on individual and collective responsibility in the fight against the mafiascourage and importance of making the right choice, all declined in the most youthful, original, artistic languages and the educational approach for the new generations. The graphic novel “Which side are you on? We are all called to choose” (published Tunuè) was born for example from a story by Pietro Grassoformer magistrate, anti -mafia prosecutor and president of the Senate who has disseminated ideas and themes with the authors, Emiliano Pagani, Alessio Pasquini and Loris De Marco.
Grasso has naturally opened to the debate on politics and on the disputed reform of justice: «Today we want to weaken the judicial power. Through a thousand measures, for example, the repeal of the abuse of office opens to all the favoritism of which the magic also use. It means doing a favor to the mafias – and adds, without too many turns of words – criminalizing dissent is a bad signal for democracy, how to weaken the judiciary for example, which is the one that controls the executive’s work. The democratic system must be based on this. We are in a democracy but we are careful, because it should be lived day by day ».
And again on the separation of careers, “a judge who has the experience of the public prosecutor has tenacity to go all the way. A judge can better do the function of the public prosecutor without falling in love with investigative theses. The two functions are enriched with each other. I am against the rhetoric of superheroes, those with superpowers – he adds instead of the graphic novel that draws inspiration from his family events – people like Falcone and Borsellino, on the other hand, are models to imitate, had a high sense of duty, of the state, had the ability to get up in the face of any difficulty “.
These are the themes that are at heart today to Pietro Grasso, very active with the Scintille of the Future Association which is dedicated to the spread of themes on legality and constitution especially in schools, “thanks above all to contact with children, with young people, schools, today’s fragility must be a force to face the difficulties”.
Of comics and graphic Journalism, indeed of the “ninth art” as a narration there was also talk in the afternoon regarding the exhibition, set up in the premises of the Lametino Archaeological Museum, dedicated to Giancarlo Siani. The works on display are taken from the graphic novel “Giancarlo Siani … and he who smiles me …” by Alessandro Di Virgilio and Emilio Lecce for the types of Round Robin. Precisely on the language of comics and graphic art in the museum field, for example, the director of the DRM Calabria, Fabrizio Sudano, has focused: “They are obviously excellent opportunities to bring new public museums, provided that everything falls into a cultural project with its meaning, a mission of it”.
In the long day of plot, Focus also on eco -inaches with worrying numbers, in particular for the South: for example Campania, Calabria, Puglia and Sicily alone represent from 40 to 50% of environmental crimes in Italy. Unfortunately Calabria stands out in second place for crimes related to waste, increased by 37% in the last year but, with a growth of 40% also as regards complaints.
