(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, JUL 27 - The Cosa Nostra bombing of a contemporary art museum in Milan's Via Palestro on the night of July 27, 1993, "struck us to the heart but did not bring us down", Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said on Thursday.
    "It did not bring us down even in those hours of fear and bewilderment in which we relived the Capaci and Via D'Amelio massacres," added the mayor, referring to the two 1992 Sicilian mafia bombings that killed anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Borsellino as well as Falcone's wife Francesca Morvillo and members of their respective security details.
    "Five of our brothers were killed by the Mafia. Thirty years later, Milan remembers with the utmost commitment that pain and the lesson in disgust for the Mafia that we learned through bloodshed," said Sala. (ANSA).
