epa01739634 Some Italian students arrive with the 'Legality Ship' in the harbour of Palermo, in Sicily Island, southern Italy, on 23 May 2009 to participate in the commemoration of the 17th years of death of Italian magistrate Giovanni Falcone. On the ship the pictures of Giovanni Falcone (L) and Paolo Borsellino. Giovanni Falcone was an Italian magistrate who specialised in prosecuting the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. He was killed by the Mafia, together with his wife and three of his bodyguards, by a 350 kg dynamite explosion placed beneath the motorway from Palermo Airport to Palermo near the town of Capaci. Paolo Borsellino was an Italian anti-Mafia magistrate who was killed by a Mafia car bomb in Palermo, less than two months after his friend and fellow anti-Mafia magistrate Giovanni Falcone had been killed by the Mafia.
