Commemorating Libero Grassi, a Contemporary Sicilian Hero

Libero Grassi is a contemporary hero. Killed by the mafia on August 29, 1991, he was a business man who stood against their requests of extortion. He did what every honest entrepreneur and citizen should do. For me, this is patriotic. Today is the 16th year anniversary of his death.

    Some people say NO to the mafia and don’t pay “protection money” with risk for their own life (like Libero Grassi) or business (burned down). Read more about this on the following website of AddioPizzo:

    Maybe some day things will change … but it’s a start. Note that this is real life and not some kind of science fiction!
