Remembering the Blessed Judge Rosario Livatino: A Martyr in the Fight Against the Mafia

On January 21, 2023, a pilgrimage in honor of judge Rosario Angelo Livatino was held in Rome. Livatino, a martyr in the fight against the mafia, was assassinated on September 21, 1990, by the Sicilian mafia. This event brought a particular relic, the blood-soaked shirt the judge was wearing the day of his assassination. 

Livatino was born in Sicily, in the province of Agrigento, and dedicated his life to the search for truth. He was an inflexible and incorruptible man, and his death has inspired the work of many judges fighting against organized crime. Join us as we remember Judge Livatino’s legacy and martyrdom in this powerful tribute.
