Commemoration of Judge Rosario Livatino

Overview

The legacy of magistrate Rosario Livatino, murdered by the Stidda criminal organization on September 21, 1990, continues to be honored through national commemorations and cultural projects.

On the 36th anniversary of his assassination, various Italian institutions held events to promote civic values and legal awareness. In Villa San Giovanni, the Unms Reggio Calabria section organized a ceremony at the Nostro-Repaci institute to encourage students to reflect on duty and social responsibility. In Agrigento, the Lions Club Host and Leo Club launched a multimedia and artistic competition for high school students titled ‘Rosario Livatino: the courage of justice, the strength of daily choices,’ which is supported by the Ministry of Justice and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.

In Caltanissetta, the Consulta dei Giovani met to discuss ‘The role of the judge in a changing society,’ where Antonio D'Amato, Secretary General of Magistratura Indipendente, emphasized the importance of nurturing young magistrates. Additionally, in Brolo, the Raggio di Sole Association organized commemorations including a dialogue with students and the presentation of the ‘Accendiamo i colori della legalità’ graphic and pictorial competition.

Cultural interest in Livatino’s life has also expanded through film. The Rai miniseries ‘Livatino. Il giudice e i suoi assassini,’ directed by Michele Placido, is scheduled to premiere at the 21st Rome Film Fest in October 2026. The production depicts his investigations into organized crime and the economic interests of groups like the Stidda during the 1980s.
