«Cose di Cosa Nostra» is the essay by Giovanni Falcone and Marcelle Padovani, published by Rizzoli in paperback (177 pages, in Italian).
Based on twenty interviews, Judge Falcone analyses in the first person the structure of Cosa Nostra, its violence, its ties with Sicilian society and the State, its profit logic and its essence: power. Written with Marcelle Padovani, the testimony, in six chapters, was drafted after leaving Palermo in 1991.
Work originally published in 1991; this edition belongs to the BUR Saggi collection by Rizzoli.
For readers interested in the history of the Sicilian mafia, judicial chronicle and the fight against organised crime.
Giovanni Falcone was an Italian judge and prosecuting magistrate. From his office in the Palace of Justice in Palermo, Sicily, he spent most of his professional life trying to overthrow the power of the Sicilian Mafia. After a long and distinguished career, culminating in the Maxi Trial in 1986–1987, on 23 May 1992, Falcone was assassinated by the Corleonesi Mafia in the Capaci bombing, on the A29 motorway near the town of Capaci.
