A story of courage, resistance and love…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The house of Peppino Impastato, a young man killed by the Mafia in the \u201870s in Cinisi (Palermo), is the symbolic place where his mother, Felicia, has been living\u00a0 after her son\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

A house-museum to remember the distress\u00a0 and commitment in\u00a0 fighting mafia, from a family, that, for many years, had been compelled\u00a0 by the organized crime.<\/p>\n

Marrying Luigi Impastato, Felicia marks her entrance in a Mafia family. Her sad fate, \u00a0after the tragic loss of her son, will make her rebel against the code of silence<\/em>, by opening, phisically and simbolically, the doors of this house to tell her story and the one of her son, killed by the Mafia.<\/p>\n

In this House-Museum Felicia displayed all the things belonged to Peppino and his fighting for legality and justice.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The path to obtain justice for her son has been long and exhausting<\/p>\n

Felicia turned out into a woman,\u00a0 even in her disarming simplicity, firm and stubborn, that, although the initial isolation, overcoming fatigue, prejudice and fear, has never accepted the idea that Peppino\u2019s death could have been considered\u00a0 as a suicide or\u00a0 a terrorist murder, as his killers let people believe in.<\/p>\n

She was abandoned from some government representatives, a great mistake, that, more like a stain, has been washed out by some judges honest and intransigent\u00a0 commitment who put themselves on the line and lost their life.<\/p>\n

On December 7 2000, the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission, on the front door of her House of Memories , gave Felicia a report stating the responsibilities of some high representatives police officers, accused of misdirection in the investigation .<\/p>\n

Felicia, died on December 7 2004, has courageously completed the task of her life and she has left us, with her \u00a0House of Memories, \u00a0destination of many visitors, a symbolic place, that, the president of the Impastato Center, Umberto Santino calls\u00a0 a \u201cLay Altar\u201d<\/p>\n

A place where memory and disclosure of truth and culture, become, through it, \u00a0an alive symbol of the resistance against power and Mafia, a practical evidence of a struggle and courage experience, where the difference doesn\u2019t lie in the family where you were born, but in the choices you make.<\/p>\n

Even today, standing between the silence of\u00a0 those walls, it seems to hear the excited voices of the endless quarrels between father and son, in front of a woman who helplessly suffered of dynamics of a peaceless family.<\/p>\n
