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.
