Remembering young victims of mafia violence

August 24, 2021 By Professor Arielle Saiber


This poster on the window of a school in Bologna (Via Saragozza, 9), Italy, explains that the stars are the names and ages of young children who have been recently killed in mafia violence.  The quotation (“rivedere le stelle”) is from the last verse of Inferno.
