39 years have passed since the murder of Graziella Campagna. “In memory of Graziella” is the event, included in the program of Libera 100 passi 21 March 2025 towards Trapani, which will take place this morning, starting from 9.30 am, in the Mother Church of Saponara. A holy mass will then be celebrated in memory of the young victim. Subsequently, institutional greetings from the civil, military and religious authorities.

They will speak later Pasquale Campagnabrother of Graziella, the prefect of Messina Cosima Di Stanithe senator Barbara Floridathe lawyer Fabio Repicithe head teacher of the Saponara district Emilia Arenathe head teacher of the Villafranca Tirrena district Rossana Ingrassia And Don Luigi Ciotti. The journalist will moderate the meeting-debate Nuccio Anselmo. This was then followed by the Eucharistic celebration in memory of the young victim. The event was organized by the Municipality, and in particular by the mayor Giuseppe Merlino and by the councillor Nicola Donatoand of the Libera association.

The mafia massacred Graziella Campagna at just 17 years old, without any mercy, with five gunshot wounds just because she was an “inconvenient witness”. It was December 12, 1985. Cruelty destroyed his body, but his memory will remain indelible in everyone’s hearts. Earthly injustice will not extinguish the memory of his pure and special soul.
