“So far I have preferred to avoid comments on a story that has made me very embittered, believing that silence, in the face of such inappropriate words, was the most sensible choice. However, when the limit is exceeded and, perhaps paradoxically, with opposite ends, inappropriate comments that end in ridicule are reached, it is, in my opinion, impossible not to reply ".

These are the words of Maria Falcone, Giovanni Falcone's sister, who with a letter sent to "La Sicilia" decided to speak on the case raised by the autobiography of the magistrate Ilda Boccassini, which tells of a love story with the magistrate killed by Cosa Nostra on May 23, 1992.

"What alarms first of all - says Maria Falcone - is that it seems that any sense of modesty and respect, first of all for one's feelings (which are claimed to have been authentic), and then for the life and intimate sphere of people who, unfortunately, they are no longer there, they can no longer express themselves on real or presumed episodes which - I am sure - would have experienced this private violation as a profound offense ”.

Then the harsh attack on a contribution published in “La Sicilia” signed by Ottavio Cappellani, in which a satirical reconstruction of some passages from Boccassini's book is carried out, specifically the part dedicated to a flight to South America. The writer imagines the scene of "her with all that curly hair on the plane to Argentina, in that 'relaxing luxury', resting all the time, I say 'all the time', from Italy to Argentina, on the shoulder of Giovanni Falcone, listening to Gianna Nannini, who one imagines Falcone, 'all the time', with Gianna Nannini in his ear and Boccassini's curly hair itching in his nose, with his arm asleep and Boccassini rubbing and humming ".

"This imagining low-level sit-com skits - explains Maria Falcone - this describes two people, who have made composure and confidentiality rules of life and who were killed to defend democracy in our country, as ridiculous protagonists of a fourth-rate novel is shameful. " "In the name of freedom of expression of thought, one cannot trample on the memory of those who are no longer there and the sensitivity of those who have remained and every day must face a pain that cannot pass", the conclusion.
