And the handwritten poster was placed, as the family wants, which has always opposed a plaque, which reads: “On August 29, 1991, Libero Grassi, a brave businessman, was assassinated here by the mafia from silence. of the industrial association, of the indifference of the parties, of the absence of the State. ”Present, among others, are the prefect of the Sicilian capital, Giuseppe Forlani, commissioner Renato Cortese, the leaders of the carabinieri and the financial police , the mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, the regional councilor Salvatore Cordaro.

This morning the protocol was also signed between the municipality of Palermo and the association “Parco Libero”, dedicated to the businessman murdered 29 years ago by the murderers of the clan because he did not want to bow to the extortion scheme. “It is a gift for my father and my mother, I hope I can finally make it come true,” said Alice Grassi, who signed the agreement with Mayor Orlando, right on that Alfieri road where her father was murdered on August 29, 1991 and where today commemorated. A “free park” conceived and loved by the family and a group of professionals and citizens, in an area worthy of Palermo, in the hamlet of Acqua dei corsari.
Symbol
The blood red paint is there to remind us of the pool where Libero Grassi was found. With the spray they have “refreshed” the blood spilled by his father, a perennial warning from the people of Palermo and beyond. A ritual (red paint and white sign with black writing) that the children of the anti-blackmailing hero repeat every year. With them also the boys and activists of AddioPizzo and Tano Grasso, honorary president of Fai.
