Domenico's name must not be forgotten. That's what John Gabriel asked from the steps of the Cathedral Basilica of Crotone, in conclusion one day he and his wife Francesca would erase from the calendar. His words break the silence in the piazza Duomo, while the candles are still lit light in the darkness descended on the city, John turns to young people: "do not be dragging on bad roads, not ruin your life and do not do harm to others" .
Exactly one year after the massacre of the soccer field of Crotone in which the small Dodò was fatally wounded during a shootout, a settling of accounts between gangs, free association and a group of sports journalists of Crotone, wanted to remember Domenico Gabriele organizing a soccer tournament, just where the massacre took place, and a silent candlelight vigil. Free to ... play the name of the initiative. A title on a day like this is almost a demand, a call, an alarm. An event that was attended by representatives of local institutions, law enforcement agencies, associations of individuals. A few hundred in all, in a city that has more than 60 thousand inhabitants. "Whoever wanted to put his face was present," said one of the organizers. The important thing is not just leaving parents Dodò on a day like this. A sad anniversary, even if the photo printed on the T-shirt depicting a happy Domenico.
What happened this morning in the neighborhood of three hundred housing does not go quietly, in fact. Don Antonio Rodio, who waited for the parade in front of the Cathedral to a gathering in prayer, remember that someone just hours before he shot a child of 12 years because annoyed by his shouting. "I know you wonder where God is - he said - but I ask you: where is the man? Where is the man in this town? "And looking at a deserted square, come to think that the claim is legitimate. It is difficult to answer. Of course, the important thing is to begin. Someone is better than none. Next year the same square will be full and maybe a few years to remember Dominic and all the innocent victims of Mafia will much of that people who will serve a stadium to contain it. They can take away everything, even his life. But that hope not.
