Rosanna Scopelliti: Taking a Stand

http://www.beppegrillo.it/eng/2007/02/kill_us_all_1.html

I tend to use Wind Rose Hotel and Beppe Grillo's Blog to get some additional information regarding the issues facing Italy. One of the biggest criticisms directed at Italy is its lack of civic interest. In many ways, they resemble Canada in apathetic behaviour. The latest post on BG's especially caught my eye. Calabria is a region in southern Italy that remains among the most mysterious, rustic and violent thanks to the notorious local mafia outfit called 'ndrangheta. The mafia preys and feeds off the indifference and fears of people. However, it can't win a war against society. Ms. Scopelliti knows first hand how evil the mob is: her father - who was a judge - was killed by the Sicily's Cosa Nostra in 1991. She is waging a courageous battle against the malignant humans that roam the streets of Calabria - of Italy. She deserves some moral support. The above link gives her story in English. You can visit her site but be aware that it's in Italian. Note to Canadians: Vito Rizzutto built a powerful international mafia empire from within the kind, cold comforts of Montreal. Something to think about.
