		Falcone's wife, Francesca Morvilio, also a magistrate, was killed with him and the members of his escort, police officers Rocco Di Cillo, Vito Schifani and Antonio Montinaro.
		Falcone may not have defeated the organisation, which still thrives today (complete with websites published by the children of convicted Mafiosi), but he certainly hindered its growth.

	Alexander Stille's Excellent Cadavers. - By Stephen Metcalf - Slate Magazine
		Falcone ran the so-called maxi-trial in the 1980s, the first Italian prosecution to acknowledge the existence of the Mafia; which is to say, it was Falcone's modest assignment to reverse the tide of history.
		On May 23, 1992, en route from the Palermo airport, Giovanni Falcone, martyr to the cause of basic civic decency, along with his wife and three police escorts, was killed by 500 kilos of plastic explosives, enough bomb to rubble a quarter-mile of Sicilian highway.
		Falcone won a spectacular array of convictions against the mob before he was exterminated, and his story is the subject of a superb new documentary, Excellent Cadavers, based on the (equally superb) book by the American journalist Alexander Stille.

		This film is based on the true story of Giovanni Falcone, a judge who was assigned to work on the case of a few hundred mobsters caught in the city of Palermo, Sicily.
		Judge Falcone became some sort of leader to the anti-mafia investigation, his hard work encouraged others to try and end all the corruption that was ruling the country back in the 80's.
		Falcone (Played by Chazz Palminteri) is aware of the dangers and rirks his job has, but so does everyone of his partners and best friend Paolo Borsellino (Andy Luotto), but they want to end the murders anyways.

		The sacrifices of Falcone and Borsellino were the price to pay, as they provoked in the nation a burst of anger which in turn led to the collective commitment by society and its institutions to fight the mafia, thus marking the beginning of an era of hope and victories.
		They were in fact essentially complementary: Giovanni Falcone was the 'strategic mind' of the pool and Paolo Borsellino its 'organising mind'.
		The Paolo Borsellino whom I accompanied during the last months of his life, after the loss of his friend Giovanni Falcone, was a changed man: all of a sudden he felt tired and weary but in a great hurry to do his work, as if driven by the premonition of his own death.

	Italy Dismayed By Shocking Mafia Murder Ruling

		The 13 bosses had been handed life sentences for their complicity in Falcone's murder on the basis of a legal argument at the center of other major Mafia trials launched by famous Mafia turncoat Tommaso Buscetta.

		In a climate of war, in the center of the crossfire between the Mafia, the magistrate and the government, Paolo Borsellino was determined to continue the "fight for freedom" interrupted by the death of Giovanni Falcone.
		This took place 57 days after the massacre of Capaci in which, with an analogous technique, Giovanni Falcone, his wife and three escort agents were killed by the Mafia.
		Giovanni used to say: "To combat the Mafia it would be sufficient that each one of us carried out his or her own specific task dutifully, no matter the cost" (and we know what it cost him).

		The album opens in a most surprising way, with the melancholy love theme "Francesca e Giovanni", an old-fashioned piece which could easily have been written by the composer twenty or thirty years earlier; it's attractive and moving in its way.
		The first real piece of suspense music, "Pietas", is also surprisingly melodic; however, it is not long before Morricone turns his hand to the more expected sound of nailbiting suspense, with the anguished strings of "Spie" being particularly effective, the choppy violins in particular.
