When, in 1950, was found in Castelvetrano, a small town in the province of Trapani, the lifeless body of the bandit Salvatore Giuliano, a well-known chronicler of the era, Tommaso Besozzi, coined the famous expression:” there is only one that is dead.”
Thirty years after the exact, always in Sicily, it was another mystery of which there is still now the only certainty is that both occurred: the sinking of a Dc9 airline Itavia in the sea that bathes the island of Ustica. No very powerful truth has never emerged from the many reconstructions that have shown a dense fog on the work of the aeronautical and military authorities, and dipped it in the ink, from the pen of writers and screenwriters. On the big screen in the first famous feature-length film on the subject was The rubber Wall by Marco Risi; last summer was released Ustica Renzo Martinelli. The films, although separated by an interval of twenty-six years, offer both the same thesis that hit the aircraft was a missile, an aircraft Born, engaged in a battle in the heavens against one or more pilots of Gaddafi. Thesis shared also by the Judiciary.
The civil court of Palermo has sentenced the ministries of Defense and Transportation to pay compensation of 12 million euro to 31 families of the victims, establishing that the disaster was caused by “high probability” from a missile or an “almost-collision with an aircraft not identified, in line with the first hypothesis of the trial of judge Rosario Priore then denied by the three degrees of criminal proceedings. According to Prior, the Dc-9 was shot down during an air battle and its course was disturbed by the military fighters of the countries still to be identified. For Eugenio Baresi and former member of parliament and secretary of the Commission slaughters the misdirection lies in the theory of the missile.
In his book “the island of Ustica, history and against history-Koinè edizioni “, presented today to the Senate, disassemble, piece by piece, examining carefully the expert reports and testimonies, this thesis, which, according to him, is rooted in the climate of the cold War between the Atlantic Alliance and the Warsaw Pact on the eve of the plane crash the story of the missiles, SS20 positioned against Europe. The west responded with ballistic missiles Pershing2 and those from cruise to Cruise. The Italian government, then led by Francesco Cossiga, was instrumental in promoting the deployment, agreeing immediately to the location of the Cruise in Sicily, in Comiso.
Quoting the proverb: “The first hen that sings has made the egg” the book recalls also how was the magazine soviet novy Mir, the first mention of a battle in Italian skies between military aircraft.
That night the sky over Ustica was free and clean, was remembered by the commander of the flight Alitalia B 727 that had crossed a few minutes before the Dc-9 Itavia. But someone, according to Baresi, has wanted to fill at any cost that sky of thunder and flashes of an air battle invented. A fantasy dictated not by the pursuit of truth, but from the perversion of political and economic interests in the game. All of this has resulted in two different definitions of the same fact established by the criminal justice and civil. “The law allows that there are sentences with a different opinion between criminal proceedings and civil proceedings, but – remember the author – the logic that pretends that the only certainty is whether the fact occurred or not”. And the certainty, in his opinion, is that the massacre was caused by the explosion of a bomb that was on the plane.
To him, indirectly, Sergio Mattarella. The President in the year 2000, at the time Minister of Defense, responded to a question in which, quoting from the judgment in the Prior and referring to the law no. 1335 of 30 November 1955, regulating the Convention between the Nato member States, asking a reasonable compensation for Aldo Davanzati, owner of Itavia.
The answer was: “a Prerequisite for the application of the mentioned provision is that it is established to the involvement of people belonging to the allied armed Forces. In the case shown it is not proven that involvement in the causes that might have determined the tragic event.”
