CONCETTA MAURO MARTINEZ MONTINARO

Social and Civil Commitment' Award

In the furrows of history, there lurk many more victims than the chronicle manages to count. Victims of reflection, in a nightmare that repeats itself, in a continuous deflagration of the soul. But between the unbridgeable void of absence and the excruciating pain of loss, Tina Montinaro has chosen to take a third way, tracing a path capable of leading her far away. It is the path of memory: a path that originates from the memory of the past and in the daily battles of the present finds new lifeblood daily battles of the present find new lifeblood to sow the future. In the fight against Cosa Nostra, remembering and recounting are not taken for granted: they are inexhaustible instruments of justice that Tina has been able to recognise and bring to around the boot. In the name of Antonio and his innate desire to change things, to the last, in the darkest May in Italian history. In an ideal passing of the baton that today pushes it, brick by brick, to build a new culture of legality among the younger generations.
