The Legacy of Falcone and Borsellino

On Saturday, June 21 at 10 a.m. at the Teatro Pirandello, the photo exhibition "The Legacy of Falcone and Borsellino" will be inaugurated. Curated by ANSA, the exhibition retraces the parallel lives of the two magistrates—from their childhood in Palermo's Kalsa district to their assassinations—through private family photos and images from the agency’s archive. The choice of June 21 is symbolic, as it falls exactly halfway through the tragic 57 days between May 23 and July 19, 1992, that changed Italy’s history.
