over frequencies

A new mafia attack. The news arrives on a radio and it turns out that the caretaker is one of the survivors of a Mafia massacre decades earlier. The Italian state has overshadowed this survivor, he has never been praised in public ceremonies. He thought it was a fault that he was left alive. The story, inspired by Giuseppe Costanza, chauffeur of magistrate Giovanni Falcone, victim of an attack in 1992, imagines that people of this caliber, heroes in disguise, are also valued by the media by dedicating large spaces to them.
