RITA ATRIA

Partanna, 4 September 1974 - Rome, 26 July 1992

Indirect victim of the mafia, Rita Atria grows up in a mafia family context and chooses to rebel and break the cage of silence by becoming a collaborator of justice. Her life, however, was interrupted at the age of only 17 when, following the state of prostration in which she had fallen after the killing of judges Falcone and Borsellino, she threw herself from the seventh floor of a building in the Tuscolano district, in Rome, where she had been recently transferred under the protection of the high anti-mafia commissioner. It was July 26, 1992 and his dream of redemption was broken: “Those bombs in a second wiped out my dream, because they killed those who, with their example of courage, represented the hope of a new, clean, honest world. Now everything is over ”.
