Giuliano, myth or bandit dead criminal record?

Too many shadows on the life and death of the "king of Montelepre. DNA testing will help to clarify the role of villain, and most importantly, to explain whether and which was the pactum between the bandit and political institutions, mafia, military and clerical de time?

Thursday, October 28 will be exhumed the body of Salvatore Giuliano (pictured). Professor Livio Milone, pathologist at the Policlinico of Palermo, was charged by prosecutors in Palermo to see if those are actually buried the remains of the "King Montelepre ", performing on the remains particularly DNA testing, to be compared with that of family members still living.

The controversy about the mysteries around the bandit monteleprino and especially the circumstances of his death, is known to all. As that the anomaly of the relationship between the mafia, secret services, police and bandits, which enabled Salvatore Giuliano and his gang to stay at the crime scene, and do not think it inappropriate to add "even of politics," Sicilian and national, for seven years.

Let's recap the salient points of each other. Some people - such as the RAI journalist Frank Cuozzo - Claims that the two bodies - the courtyard of the morgue and Castelvetrano - belong to two different people. Still, some - like the great-grandson of the bandit, Giuseppe Sciortino Giuliano - states that the corpse shown in the hot July of sixty years ago the press was not that of Salvatore Giuliano, but an impersonator. Giuliano live - in the view of the great-grandson - fled to the U.S. where he died eighty, after coming twice in Sicily, at the funeral of his mother and his sister Mariannina, the two women he loved most in her short life and who loved him beyond words.

certain things: In the Either way, the Italians made the bandit's death in 1950 was, in fact, a fiction built on purpose for the media age, they were not, however, a fiction honors received by the highest institutional authority, nor the promotion of Colonel Hugh in general and Perenze captain to colonel, and again, the two hypotheses, if confirmed, show that careful thought directed to plan everything, especially the system to allow the mafia of Monreale, the only one that had been related to Julian, to cash out 50 million bounty placed on the head of the bandit monteleprino. If that were true, would constitute irrefutable proof of the existence of a well-defined and articulated «patto» fra lo Stato e la Mafia, che essendo datato attorno alla fine degli anni Quaranta coinciderebbe in maniera inquietante con il periodo fondativo dell’Italia repubblicana. E’ come se – per restare in tema di fiction – la posa della prima pietra della costruzione della nuova Italia - libera, repubblicana ed antifascista, per non parlare della coeva istituzione della Regione siciliana sotto forma autonoma – fosse avvenuta «a due mani», laddove una era quella della Mafia…



Si tratta oggi, a distanza di sessant’anni, di stabilire, una volta per tutte, non tanto se le spoglie conservate nella tomba del cimitero di Montelepre siano o non siano di Salvatore Giuliano, but rather to identify and make public, no ifs, ands or buts, what was the role, the true and real, Salvatore Giuliano in about that time in that space-time context of the dawn of the Republic. Which was, if there was, the pactum between the institutions and the bandit, between institutions and the mafia banditry to close the game in general and that of Giuliano band in particular. In the shadow of the Stars and Stripes was taking shape the new Italy, whose rehearsals are made (as always) in Sicily, behind the screen of the MIS before, Autonomy, later. And in all this, what was the role of the fascist underground, which, one of the church?



And again, if it were not for the accident / incident / massacre of Portella della Ginestra, Giuliano died in 1947, immediately before or after the establishment of the first Sicilian Parliament autonomy? He lives (or do it live), however, until July 5, 1950, why? Who cares that Julian still living? But to those who, he died? For all these reasons and for many others, we believe that we should not turn off the spotlight of the studies and research on the story of Salvatore Giuliano, in wishing that the Italian Republic has become the antibodies necessary to rethink itself and exorcise its past also, for example, by an act of great courage: remove State secrecy on papers kept in the archives of the Ministries of Interior and Defense on the yellow death of the bandit, which expires on 2016.



E 'for all these reasons that we do not understand the statements made by prof. Casarubbea, careful and accurate scholar, when it states, along with colleague Mario Cereghino, that "after a job that lasted fifteen years, the two have collected evidence which might question the correspondence of the corpse lying in the courtyard, then transported to the local morgue with the individual portrait and several photos into a movie in December 1949. " Spontaneously the question: who or what it is used to prove that the remains buried Montelepre to belong or not to Salvatore Giuliano? In this sense, there is further illuminating statement of prof. Casarubbea, we report that quote: "The desire to bring out the whole truth [about the remains, editor's note) must meet the acknowledgment of the judiciary, we are still on track, we just want the story of Salvatore Giuliano is clarified, we can not accept that such a criminal, with 411 cases of crime against him, died a criminal record it is impossible to undertake the necessary processes, is remembered as a kind of myth. "



If the prof. Casarubbea wants "the story of Salvatore Giuliano is clarified," because it addresses the Judiciary to exhume the body? What explanation can give nullifying the finding at autopsy after his death? Determine whether or not the membership remains in Giuliano serves to change the story of Julian? We believe that this is not the road that could lead to those answers that we all desire. Prof. Casarubbea when it acts as a son of one of the victims of the notorious bandit has the whole of our solidarity and our utmost respect, but this is to shed light on a character who has gone through a piece of Sicilian history and national categories are to be used only those of historical research and civic commitment.



way, then, of seven last words of the statement above, where there is a manifest and shared concern that Giuliano "will be remembered as a kind of myth," I think we can agree that the issue deserves a thorough and structured reflection. There downfall, however, the fact that Julian will be remembered as a kind of myth is true if it is true that people like Nino Bixio (the dell'eccidio Bronte, for instance) are represented as icons of national renaissance values. The phenomenon of the myth of a character should be studied with the help of anthropologists, specialists in the context of a study conference on the theme, to which the prof. Casarubbea, historians and anthropologists could make their contribution.
