«Per questo mi chiamo Giovanni» is Luigi Garlando's account of Judge Giovanni Falcone, published by Rizzoli in paperback (154 pages, in Italian).
Giovanni, a boy from Palermo, turns ten and his father gives him a tour of the city to explain why he was named Giovanni. On that walk, the life of Judge Giovanni Falcone emerges: his commitment against the mafia, his victories, his difficulties and his sacrifices, until he understands that this fight also begins at school.
The account, originally published in 2004, appears in this 2012 edition within the BUR Burextra collection; it includes a preface by Maria Falcone and an interview with the author.
It is aimed at young readers aged 8 and up and at school reading due to its approach to Falcone's figure and the fight against the mafia.
Italian sports journalist and writer (1962-)
