Preface by Roselin Salemi From "The other Sicilian - twelve true stories" diGiacomo Pilati - Foto Fabio Marino - Coppola Editor's what he had fought the mafia, and what a child has met the eyes of a hawk in a cage, a true stroke of lightning. There is one that was brushed aside by his family intended to bomb a judge and that a ninety recalls his indulgence by butterfly loves happy, girlie "too far" for a moment as severe. Twelve women Sicilian tell you, crossing with their lives extraordinary few crumbs of History. And all together give an idea of how to be courageous certain unconscious stubborn fight and sentimental Sicilian women. How can be so realistic as to believe without this, lost causes marry men complicated, visionary projects. The record reveals the stories in a disorderly, discovers the floods and the exalted and deletes leaving behind bright splinters of names and faces, and many would be lost if there was someone to collect, secure of finding in each a small mine details and secrets, because women may also be silent, but seldom forgotten. Maybe, just waiting for an application. We want the stories to understand the world, but also those who can recognize them. And Truman Capote was able to prove it: a few books like "In Cold Blood" were able to explain America. Pilati James A, "the other Sicilian" known, met, interviewed, discovered over the record, I liked this, different Yet like so bound by a special destiny, moral obligation to deliver to the world the meaning of their choices, not as those who have an absolute truth to be communicated, but as those who indicate a road, a path that others also will go. Able to confess with a fierce sincerity, with an innocent sweetness. Pina Maisano, widow of Libero Grassi, recalls with pride the husband's choice not to pay the "lace", a risky position, paid with their lives, but also an example that only now beginning to bear fruit in civil society . Margherita Asta review the film in the minds of the last day of his mother and twin brothers, deleted the explosive that was to kill the Judge Carlo Palermo. How many women's memories, that day has remained intact, a gesture after another, one minute after another relived in slow motion, the hasty greeting, car part, the goodbye that can not be a farewell. Sonia Alfano, daughter of Beppe, the journalist killed by the Mafia, with sorrowful serenity reconstructs the pieces of the puzzle that finally explains the isolation and condemnation of his father wanted to pay "not" write, absurd. And then the birds in a cage of Anna Giordano, bought for little money when he was a child: to love nature, protect it, it becomes a destiny. As the magic eyes that suddenly reveals the stanza dello scirocco "Mary La Rocca di San Silvestro. In each of these lives is a moment that changes and transforms, a crossroads for love or taken out of necessity that allows no more than go back. Nina Di Giorgi, Nat Scammacca companion, able to "see" the poem, at some point choose to follow the law of the heart, Amelia Scimone, queen of the piano bar at the "San Domenico" Taormina says no to American billionaire wants to take them away (and is perhaps the only regret), Graziella Proto abandon the work of researcher, guinea pigs and shared between laboratories in the name of the battle for legality and, as a real fighter, does not know the word "surrender". For each program, Giacomo Pilati grasp the crucial point, one in which the pain of loss, the defeat could be the end and they are the beginning of a new challenge. So he says that these women liked him. And, guided by instinct, from the heart, rather than by trade (who happens to use journalism as a ladder to climb higher and, in the manner of Wittgenstein, is willing to throw away once you arrive at the top), tells stories that could be monologues, songs, or might be novels. Inside there is too much truth, too much emotion to be only interviews. Tells stories that are part of our present and not allow anyone to close the past, always strong temptation, when the past is troublesome. There are women (and those who listen) to prevent that from happening. So Sonia, Amelia, Nina, Graziella and others, as well as James, like many, to all those who meet in these pages.
