Saturday 14 October at 17pm at the Maria Ss. Assunta cloister in Piazza Aragona Santa Maria a Vico.
Don Riboldi, a bishop and his "boys" against the camorra long before Gomorrah today that the narrative of evil has prevailed over every example of courage and hope The memory of Don Antonio Riboldi, the first to march in 1982 at the head of the students, against the Camorra.
The opportunity to discuss what has been done and above all what remains to be done in the fight against the mafia. The book also poses a disturbing question: how is it possible that that season of great hope has fallen into oblivion? Many young people know, and often imitate, the characters of Gomorrah, they see “Mare fuori”, they remember the names of mafiosi and camorristi, but they ignore who Don Riboldi was and even a martyr like Don Diana, killed by the killers of crime. This is the result of a questionnaire distributed last year in schools that sadly confirmed a dangerous removal of memory, today that juvenile violence represents the emergency of emergencies.
An evening of reflection and commitment starting from the recent book “Don Riboldi 1923-2023 il coraggio tradito” by Pietro Perone preface by Monsignor Antonio Di Donna, San Paolo editions – Milan.
