It was presented on Tuesday, June 16, in the main hall of the episcopal palace in Mazara, the "Legality sow." His Excellency the Bishop of Mazara, Dominic Mogavero, and Father Francis Fiorino, President of the Foundation San Vito non-profit organization, attended the press conference Dr. Stephen Trotta, prefect of Trapani, a few representatives of the Consulate General of the United States of America in Naples, the lawyer. Jerome Turano, President of the Regional Province of Trapani and several other political and military.

I have followed Dr. Antonio Maruccia, Special Commissioner of the Government for the management of assets seized in a criminal organization and the representative of Vodafone Italy Foundation, Dr.. Edmundo Edwards.

The two-year project "sow the Legality '" - has been pointed out - is designed to enhance the facilities of the farm, run by the Foundation San Vito, which uses property and land confiscated from the Mafia in the Communes of Castelvetrano and Salemi. Thanks also to the support of Vodafone Italy Foundation has offered € 307,000.00 the main objective is to make the farm a model for educational issues concerning the legality and environmental protection. At the "Cherry", in the district Fiumelungo in Salemi, a multipurpose center will be built, for meetings and workshops with various groups and schools, and educational nature trail. Pileri in the district, close to the Archaeological Park of Selinunte, you will realize spaces equipped with 20 beds and facilities for the accommodation of tourists and organized groups.

An orchard in the district of Salemi Fiumelungo a photovoltaic system in the district of Castelvetrano Pileri, will be made for self-sustainability of the farm. Beyond the interesting project that we wanted to present to the Church of Mazara, administrators and all citizens "the most important message - said Bishop Mogavero - wants to be to begin to move, because what we sow today will bear fruit during the day or next week, but in time that we give ourselves in our action, what counts is to determine a trend reversal. We must begin to think in new terms, design, giving a dimension of hope, not wishful thinking or desire, but as a commitment of each individual, because every little part that everyone is called to do, it will be a contribution that will benefit all.

Understand the law as law is wrong. The law is a tool to achieve it. The end of law is the man. Best of all everybody's property includes, but is not always true. Indeed, the good of the individual can sometimes be to the detriment of the common good is the logic mafia ". With the presentation of the "Legality sow" so we wanted to give a signal of hope that fuels the desire to do because of the illegality of the circle be broken in favor of coexistence in which everyone can express himself and make himself .

The legal fight should not be merely delegated to the police or the courts. This industry not only requires hard efforts of Don Francesco Fiorino, the bishop, the prefect Trotta ... Every citizen should contribute, is no longer allowed to be spectators, indifferent to it, because it often means being complicit. We must actively demonstrate that we are fighting against the mafia and we want to show the beautiful face of our "beautiful and unhappy land." So he called Paolo Borsellino in one of his last speeches before he was killed by the Mafia.

Speech that Don Francesco Fiorino, wanted to remember the opening, reading the most significant verses: "The fight against the Mafia, the first moral problem to be solved in our land, beautiful and unfortunate, should not only be a detached work of repression, but a movement of cultural and moral, even religious, involving all who will learn to feel the beauty of the fresh air of freedom that is opposed to the stench of moral compromise, of indifference, of contiguity, and thus complicity. "

Borsellino's words seem to devote so the objectives it has set itself the Diocese, together with the Foundation and Vodafone Foundation's St Vitus with the project "Let's plant Legality", which will surely be an important tool against the Mafia.
