"In memory of Danilo Dolci." "May 1, 1947, Portella della Ginestra, Sicily someone shot the crowd." "11 dead 27 injured" "Three hours after the massacre, the investigators already put the name of the bandit Giuliano." "The killing of the bandit and the investigation on the massacre are declared" "STATE SECRETS" "Soriano nel Cimino Prison on the night of May 3, 1951" "Your Honor..." "Piana degli Albanesi, a town nearby Palermo, is the classic gathering place for farmers on feast days" "This year, the feast seems more Welcome than ever as the Women dress traditional Albanian costumes embroidered with gold and heavy, sumptuous chains" "No one could suspect that in this very moment, in nearby Portella della Ginestra, Where Workers are meeting, a grim ambush awaits." "May 1, 1947" "May 3" "All over Italy there is a strike of protest and mourning 9 dead, and more than 100 Wounded in Sicily" "In Home the march is led by a double line of cyclists, their hands on each ether's shoulders" "Silence, order and dignity in their pain and their protest" "The public response to the slaughter" "THE END OF GIULIANO" "This man is Giuseppe Cucinella, Giuliano's deputy" "They are charged with the slaughter in the Assizes Court" "Those in mourning for the fallen in May, 1947" "Grave revelations are heard." "But the voice of the first on the list of the accused is not heard" "The news finally arrives:" "in the early morning hours, all of Italy knows" "Castelvetrano, Where Turiddu was cleverly lured" "Beginning at 3:15, when Officer Renzi saw the bandit, the shoot out lasted until 3:50, when Giuliano ran into the Moorish courtyard of the De Maria home." "Perhaps Wounded, he shot again." "Captain Perenze opened fire." "Giuliano fell here in a pool of blood" "The events at Portella are very clear" "That beast, Giuliano was caught by the hand of justice thanks to the heroism of Captain Perenze..." "There he is!" "Look at this man closely." "That's Pisciotta" "Gaspare Pisciotta" "Look..." "NEW REVELATIONS ON PISCIOTTA..." "The press continues to throw mud on my party" "Polacco," "Pisciotta must not speak..." "Me?" "!" "This morning the Minister assured me that immediate justice will be made if..." "Viterbo Prison May 9, 1951" "You know what you have to do" "Bandits, Mafia, police..." "We were like the Holy Trinity!" "I took orders directly from Scelba" "Minister Scelba?" "You see?" "I don't tell fairytales" "I never tell fairytales!" "Certificate of merit" "The Minister signed that in front of me... in Rome" "What I told you is the sacred truth!" "Be careful, Gaspare, they want to kill you" "Meeting Room, Viterbo Prison May 13, 1951" "I was supposed to be killed, Counselor, on an order from outside, understand?" "If that janitor hadn't found the message, I'd be dead now" "Dead and gone!" "They think they'll shut me up..." "The moment of truth has come." "Tomorrow in court, I'll name the men who ordered the slaughter in front of Italy and the whole world!" "I've already told you, Pisciotta, your opinion won't be worth a thing" "Only a confessed criminal, an accused man who admits the crime, can denounce accomplices and those who gave the order" "If you declare you are uninvolved in those murders, your testimony is worthless." "Is that clear?" "Seeing as you've declared yourself innocent, uninvolved in the execution of the slaughter at Portella della Ginestra, your testimony cannot be taken into consideration by the judge" "What?" "I saw those politicians several times in Montelepre talking to Giuliano to convince him to kill those communists!" "In exchange they promised him amnesty and impunity..." "I'll name those men tomorrow!" "Viterbo Court May 14, 1951" "Did you take part in the slaughter at Portella?" "I wasn't in Portella." "I am completely innocent." "I'm not bloodthirsty like Salvatore Giuliano" "I came here voluntarily to see justice done!" "Lower your voice!" "This is burning inside me, Your Honor" "You are not permitted to speak regarding the Portella killings" " Let him speak!" " Silence!" "Silence in the court!" "Christian Democrat Deputy, the Honorable Bernardo Mattarella," "Prince Gianfranco Alliata of Montereale, the Honorable Monarchist, Tommaso Leone Marchesano, the Honorable Giacomo Cusumano Geloso... and the Minister Scelba" "The link between the Giuliano gang and the Roman government was the Honorable Marchesano" "It was Marchesano, Alliata and Mattarella who ordered Giuliano the slaughter in Portella!" "Silence!" "Silence!" "I request citations for" "Alliata, Cusumano, Marchesano, Mattarella and Scelba as witnesses in this trial" "The Public Defender requests" "Scelba, Mattarella, Cusumano, Alliata and Marchesano be called as witnesses" "Pisciotta has accused these men of having organized the slaughter" "But the Court cannot call them as witnesses because an accused man may not testify" "Pisciotta's accusation must be that of an accomplice and because Pisciotta denies any complicity in the slaughter at Portella the men he accuses cannot be called to testify" "The Court retires to deliberate" "Conduct the prisoner to the cell." "The hearing is suspended" "I have to know what happened in Portella della Ginestra" "I told you, I don't know anything about Portella!" "I took no part in the slaughter or its organization" "As Giuliano's right arm, you must have known everything!" "The Court denies the Public Defender's request regarding the citation of Alliata, Marchesano, Cusumano, Mattarella and Minister Scelba as collaborators in the slaughter of Portella as this would be of an investigative nature which is outside the jurisdiction of this Court." "Some time later, expert witness sector" "According to investigators, the bandit Giuliano was in Portella della Ginestra with 30 men but eye witnesses said there were 11" "At the scene of the slaughter more than 800 bullet shells were collected, far too many to have been shot by 11 men in a 10 minute shoot out" "Immediately alter the slaughter Giuliano made three moves which were absolutely devoid of logic" "First." "Why did he free the four hunters taken prisoner before the shoot out?" "Were they not dangerous eye witnesses to murder?" "Why did he run after his men screaming "You bastards, what did you do?" "!"" "Why did he have Emanuele Busellini killed, a local field hand who was not an eye witness?" "Hello?" "Alright, I'll tell him" "From your office, Counselor." "The Viterbo prison officials say that Pisciotta wants to see you urgently" "I kiss your hand, Counselor" "Well?" "I couldn't talk in the cell." "Corrao was listening to us" "Remo Corrao." "Son-in-law to the Mafia Chief in Monreale" "How did they convince Giuliano to shoot the crowd?" "Women, children..." "Those people were communists but they were also his neighbours" "Wasn't that slaughter a suicide for him?" "Why did Giuliano kill Busellini after the slaughter?" "Busellini was a mafioso..." "Why did he kill a mafioso after the slaughter?" " A revenge" " What revenge?" "Why did Giuliano free the four hunters afterwards?" "Because he wanted to!" "Giuliano didn't want a slaughter" "Giuliano had ordered his men to shoot in the air above the people" "After the shooting, he thought he'd freed Sicily from communism" "That's why he let the hunters go" "Then he looked down with his binoculars and saw the slaughter" "He immediately thought someone had twisted their arms..." "That's why he yelled, "Bastards, what did you do"!" " Why'd he kill Busellini?" " I told you already" " Busellini was a Mafia man" " Where was the Mafia involved?" "The Mafia had a precise job that day in Portella" "What was that?" "To cover the actions of the gang" "When the men swore they didn't shoot into the crowd," ""Turiddu" knew it had been a trap and killed Busellini for revenge." "If you weren't in Portella, how do you know all this?" "You see?" "The scene of the slaughter..." "Perfect!" "So, according to Pisciotta," "Giuliano was here with a machine gun and 5 of his men armed with 91 Moschettos" "They're all 6.5 calibre weapons" "Here are the 4 hunters held prisoner, guarded by one bandit armed with a double barrelled shotgun" "Here is the position of the four Mafia men," "and here is the low position of Ferreri's squad armed with Beretta machine guns" "If we want to know who shot to kill, we must know the calibre of the bullets found in the victims" "That's been done" "Among the 11 dead and 27 wounded, and among the 800 shells found on the ground, only six bullets were gathered by investigators" "Two are still in the bodies of the survivors," "Two were removed from the dead," "One was removed from the arm of an injured woman and finally, one was taken from the crime scene" "Of these six bullets, five were 9 calibre, while only one was a 6.5 calibre shell" "These are 9 calibre and 6.5 calibre shells" "In your opinion, which of them is smaller?" "This one" " The 6.5" " No, Counselor, that one is a 9 calibre" "Do you see how easy they are to be confused?" "The 6.5 calibre shell was thrown in with the others to cause confusion!" "To identify the shell taken from the woman's arm, the police report stated only that this one..." ""is the smaller of the two that were found"" "The police report had a precise aim:" "to hide that the victims of the slaughter were hit only with 9 calibre bullets" "All of these bullets were shot by a Beretta machine gun" "But in Portella della Ginestra only Salvatore Ferreri's squad were armed with Berettas" "Come" "This is Ferreri's position" "At this point, it would be best to know the story behind Salvatore Ferreri" "Salvatore was my friend" "He liked the good life, beautiful women, money..." "He was a fugitive" "He'd killed someone in 1945 and was sentenced to life prison" "We called him "Toto the Lifer" which pissed him off" "He wanted to be called Fra Diavolo, like the brigand" "When the amnesty was given in 1946..." "Giuliano said to us, whoever wanted to go home, could go" "Ferreri didn't take the amnesty, he disappeared" "No one knew where he'd gone" "He'd opened a restaurant with his father under a false name" "The Alcamo Mafia chief went to see him in February, 1947 and convince his father to see" "Christian Democrat Minister Salvatore Aldisio" "Minister Aldisio promises amnesty for his son if Toto consigns himself immediately to Ettore Messana," "Inspector General of Public Safety in Palermo" "Ferreri's father convinces him and he returns to Palermo" "Inspector Messana asks Ferreri to return to Giuliano's gang as his personal informer" "He gives him safe conduct and tells him his mission is to spy on "Turiddu's" moves" "Messana can meet Ferreri every night in Alcamo to find out every move Giuliano makes in detail" "The "reds" had been organizing strikes and occupying land and on April 20, 1947 the social-communists from the People's Block had won the primary regional elections in Sicily" "On the evening of April 28, a week after the elections," "Ferreri tells Messana that Giuliano had received a letter addressed to his mother from Giacomo Cusumano Geloso" "The letter ordered Giuliano to shoot on May 1 in Portella against the communists who'd be celebrating victory" "The next evening, Messana gives Ferreri five new machine guns Beretta 9 calibre for him and his squad" "On April 30, Messana misses the appointment" "The Mafia Chief tells Ferreri that tomorrow, at Portella, unbeknownst to Giuliano, he should lower his guns and shoot the communists" "And that's how it happened Salvatore Ferreri shot into the crow and caused a slaughter" "But two months later on June 27" "Inspector Messana and Don Vincenzo Rimi had the police in Alcamo kill Salvatore Ferreri, his father Vito, his uncle Antonino Coraci, and his two friends, Fedele and Giuseppe Pianello" "So, while Giuliano and his men shot in the air," "Ferreri shot to kill" "If Pisciotta's story is true, the scenario in Portella changes completely" "The Mafia, the bandits, the Police Inspector, the Minister of the Interior, the Roman government itself" "They are all involved in the slaughter" "And the cause would be the electoral victory of the Left that occurred ten days before" "My only doubt is... things like this aren't organized in 10 days" "Ferreri was a registered voter in Aldisio in February 1947, far before the primary election in April" "Would you like to reread Giuliano's diary which states that he'd ordered his men in Portella to shoot in the air?" "Pisciotta maintains that the diary is ridiculous, that it was dictated to Giuliano and can't be factual" "I trust Giuliano's "ridiculous" diary more than the authentic police report" "Giuliano writes: "At around 9, the hope of seeing the other squad..."" "That refers to Antonio "Cacaova" Terranova's squad..." " ..who never arrived in Portella" " Who is this Cacaova?" "Boss of the Giuliano gang's kidnap squad" "He's now on trial in Viterbo, I'm defending him" ""..hope of seeing the other squad was now gone, and the plan doomed to fail"" "What plan?" ""The failed plan was to surround the crowd of people"" ""take out those responsible and hand out immediate justice"" ""reading them the reason for their death"" ""But when the plan failed,"" ""l thought I'd have a more personal shoot out"" ""to wreck the celebration and make sure those farmers"" ""never got any more poisonous communist propaganda"" ""So I ordered my men to shoot"" ""and shoot 20 meters above the heads of the crowd"" ""so that they'd hear the bullets whistle by, "" ""know it was serious and break up the festivities"" ""We shot and then watched them run away"" ""Ten minutes later we went down..."" "Giuliano wasn't stupid." "He knew that shooting at women and children would be a real suicide for him" "Why didn't Cacaova's men ever reach Portella?" "I'm your lawyer, Cacaova." "You can talk to me calmly..." "Counselor, I'll talk on the condition that I don't have to repeat it in court" "Even the walls have ears here" "Do you know I'm risking my life and my family?" "That will be our secret, Cacaova" "Giuliano said he'd told Li Causi to go to a meeting in Portella on May 1, 1947" "According to the plan, until dawn on May 1, my squad was supposed to be on a road leading from Palermo passing through Monreale and San Giuseppe Iato, leading to Portella della Ginestra" "We were supposed to block Li Causi's car when we saw it and immobilize the driver and anyone else in the car" "Once kidnapping him, we should have continued driving with Li Causi as prisoner until we reached Portella" "When we got to Portella, near to Sasso Barbato, we were to dump Li Causi out of the car" "and shoot him in front of everyone" "At that point Giuliano was to shoot above the crowd to terrorize them and allow us escape" "That and nothing more was to happen in Portella on May 1" "The public execution of the Communist Party Chief Li Causi!" "But things went differently, Counselor" "On the night before the event," "Remo Corrao came to see me on the ambush road to tell me that my squad was to stay where it was" "The Mafia had ordered to stop the kidnapping and Li Causi's murder cancelled" "And that's what I did" "My squad and I stayed out of the happenings" "If you never reached Portella with Li Causi as prisoner, why did Giuliano order the shooting?" "Portella della Ginestra under Mount Pizzuta or Pelavet" "The four hunters" "Come here" "They made the four of us sit behind this boulder" "The bandits were over on that ridge" "Giuliano was standing above that and he watched Portella through his binoculars" " One of them was holding..." " An instrument" "It looked like a trumpet" "Then from the sound we knew it was a hand siren" "Giuliano shot from above with a machine gun, the kind you mount of the ground" "He shot for about ten minutes Then we heard the siren sound" "One of the bandits covered up the machine gun, and then with the others following they went down to the road leading to San Giuseppe Iato" "Counselor, I was sitting here!" "Giuliano went last." "He went to the bandit guarding us and said, "Let them go"" "While they gave us back our shotguns and cartridges," "Turiddu smiled at us and said," ""Tell everyone that there were 500 of us!"" "Before the shooting while we were guarded on the ground we saw a lot of people down there on Mount Kumeta" "We asked the man guarding us who they were" "He said the people down on Kumeta were comrades of the people from Pizzuta" " Which is the Valanca cliff?" " This one" "Where were the Mafia men from San Giuseppe placed?" "Down there, behind those rocks" "Above them was a man on a horse watching the crowd" "They had a black flag which they flew from a rock" "One of them shot from right under here" " A black flag?" " Yes, black" "Let's go" "Giuliano shot from down there!" "These are the low positions where Salvatore Ferreri shot" "We now know the Mafia intervened directly to stop Li Causi's kidnapping and murder" "It would be interesting to know the motive" "Not only the Mafia, the police had the same aim" "What do you mean?" "Inspector Messana stated at the trial, on April 28... two days before the slaughter, he'd sent Colonel Paolantonio to see Honorable Li Causi" "to warn him to not go to Portella as the police were aware of a threat to his life" "It would be enough for me to prove that in Portella there was more than one place they shot from" "The 7 men in Giuliano's squad placed on the Pelavet cliffs shot 270 rounds" "The 5 men in Ferreri's squad shot 300 rounds from lower positions and the 4 Mafia men from San Giuseppe Iato shot 180 rounds from the Valanca cliff" "In all, if mathematics is not just an opinion, there were 750 bullets fired" "The sum of 750 is very close to the 800 shells found by the investigators" "The inspectors gathered those shells with no criteria, omitting to supply the exact quantity of those found" "The number of shots that were actually fired is absolutely incalculable" " Sugar?" " No, thanks" "If it's true that 800 shells were found, it means that many more could have been fired, 1000" "1200,1500..." "Who can tell?" "I have another question" "Why do you think only" "Giuliano's squad on Pelavet were the only ones seen?" "Come, maybe I have the answer" "After calculating the position of the sun at 10 in the morning on May 1" "I understood why witnesses saw only Giuliano firing the Breda machine gun on Pelavet" "And why no one noticed" "Ferreri's gunfire on the lower position, or the Mafia gunfires on the Valanca cliff" "Are you really convinced they'd actually calculated the sunlight angle on the scene of the slaughter?" "All rise" "In the name of the Italian people in accordance with Articles 29, 32, 62A, 72," "110,116,372,378, 422, 424, 535 of the Penal Code, and 488 and 489 of the Penal Procedure Code the Assizes Court of Viterbo declares" "Gaspare Pisciotta," "Antonino "Cacaova" Terranova," "Frank Mannino, known as "Ciccio Lampo"" "Antonio Cucinella, known as "Purrazzolo"," "Giuseppe Cucinella, known as "Purrazzolo"," "Nunzio Badalamenti, known as "Culobianco"," "Francesco Pisciotta, known as "Mpomp"," "Francesco Gaglio, known as "Reversino"," "Giovanni Genovese, known as "Manfre"," "Giuseppe Genovese, known as "Manfre"... responsible for the slaughter committed on May 1, 1947 in Portella della Ginestra and condemn them to life imprisonment plus solitary daylight confinement for a period of 6 months."

"The marks were black." "They looked like bullet burns" "A bullet hitting a stone doesn't make a black mark, the mark is white and the rock splinters" "At 8 a.m. on May 1, I was here with a friend" "We came up here to eat ricotta made by the Riolo family" "Once here, we heard a big "Hurrah!""

"No Sicilian would ever yell "Hurrah!"" "I'll give you some advice, Counselor" "Get in touch with "The Professor" in Palermo" "He was Chief of Investigations for the Communist Party and the Socialist Party to investigate the slaughter" "Two days later, in Palermo" "It doesn't matter if Li Causi was supposed to be in Portella" "What's important is that Giuliano was convinced he was" "Then why did Giuliano order his men to shoot?" "Do you know the number of dead and wounded in Portella?" "11 dead, 27 wounded..." "There were 57 wounded, not 27" "There were also 30 with light injuries no one counted" "More than half those wounded had injuries on their lower bodies, feet, legs and other body parts as well" "Do you think that bullets from a machine gun could produce similar injuries?"

"On Dxuait we'd collect 12 grenade launchers wrapped in waxed shits among the rocks" "Holding those weapons, the men yelled "Hurrah!"" "Two boys walking by yelled another "Hurrah!"." "I questioned the two boys to find out where they were going and then I let them go" "As the two boys walked toward Kumeta" "I saw Giuliano on the Pelavet cliff watching positions with his binoculars" "Ferreri was in a lower position, and the mafiosi were on the Valanca cliffs" "The men with me were to create panic by throwing the grenades on the crowd" "When the squad shot toward Sasso Barbato," "I thought it was harmless "firecrackers"" "After ten minutes of shooting I heard the siren sound."

"What conclusion have you reached?" "Giuliano was on Pelavet with the four imprisoned hunters" "And on the lower position was Ferreri..." "The mafioso from San Giuseppe were on the Valanca cliff, and Pisciotta with his grenade men were on Dxuait" "This is Sasso Barbato" "According to Pisciotta, they started shooting at 10" "What was Giuliano waiting for to give order to shoot?" "The arrival of the car holding Li Causi prisoner!" "Yes, but how could Giuliano know the precise time Li Causi's car would arrive?" "That damned car never got to Portella!" "Are you sure?" "What if the Mafia men from San Giuseppe Iato had a car arrive that was exactly the same as Li Causi's?" "That what the black flag was used for" "It was to signal Giuliano that Li Causi had arrived!" "That's what he believed..." "The real receiver of that signal wasn't Giuliano, but the commander of the men chosen to throw the grenades when the car arrived" "Explosions that everyone thought were fireworks" "On the rocks of Pelavet, which are 550 meters from the podium," "Giuliano mistook those grenade explosions to be the Li Causi's execution" "He then ordered his men to open fire above the crowd to help the assassins to escape" "From the lower part of Pelavet," "Ferreri... lowers his aim" "and shoots at the demonstrators, emptying his last round from the 9 calibre Beretta" "We are facing a "grand staging", Counselor, but we have no proof" "Pisciotta has decided to talk, to tell everything" "And do you think they're going to allow him?"
