Senator Giuseppe Lumia, Coordinator of the Permanent Commissions of the United States of the World, donated an anastatic copy of the text of the Constitution of the Italian Republic signed at Palazzo Giustiniani on 27 December 1947.
"For a society to go well, to move forward in progress, in the exaltation of the values of the family, of the spirit, of goodness, of friendship, for it to flourish without contrasts between the various consociates, to set out serenely on the path towards a better tomorrow, it is enough for each one to do his or her duty". With these words by Giovanni Falcone, Secretary-General Michele Capasso and Senator Giuseppe Lumia opened a day of commemoration and commitment that saw the United States of the World headquarters and the Museum of Peace take centre stage with the participation of many young people. "1992, said Lumia, was the bloodiest year of the Mafia offensive against State institutions. The Mafia killed Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two magistrates most active in the fight against Cosa Nostra. In the Capaci massacre, which took place exactly 32 years ago, Falcone was killed along with his wife, Francesca Morvillo, and the three men of his escort, Rocco Di Cillo, Vito Schifani, and Antonio Montinaro; in the Via D'Amelio massacre in Palermo, Borsellino and the five men of his escort, Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina, lost their lives".
