Peppino Impastato was an Italian journalist and activist known for his fight against the Mafia. His family was part of an important clan running a portion of the drug traffic in Sicily, but instead of joining the organisation of his own family, he rebelled against it. He left home and started to get interested in politics, then he founded a political youth organisation called “Musica e Cultura” (Music and culture). In 1977 he founded Radio Aut, a free radio channel autofinanced and which became very popular in the surroundings thanks to the rubric “Onda Pazza” where Peppino would ironically tease the leaders of the Mafia family and politicians. His political opinion and the rebellion against his own family brought him to become one of the most important Mafia activists in the 70s, but caused his death in 1978. But the injustice towards this activist didn’t stop with his death, the sender of his death will be brought to justice only in 2000, once the case of Peppino Impastato was reopened.
