Libera, “A ricordar e riveder le stelle,” Remembering Young Victims of Mafia Violence (2021)
This poster on the window of a school in Bologna (Via Saragozza, 9), Italy, explains that the stars are the names and ages of young children who have been recently killed in mafia violence. The quotation (“riveder le stelle”) is from the last verse of Inferno.
