Two-thirds of Italian people consider Giovanni Falcone a hero who went above and beyond his duties as a servant to the State, according to an IPSOS poll released ahead of the 30th anniversary of the anti-mafia prosecutor's murder by Cosa Nostra in the the Capaci bomb attack in 1992. Over half of the people surveyed, 58%, are convinced that Falcone knew the Sicilian Mafia was going to kill him.
And 71% said he was left to fight the Mafia on his own. Around 42% think the full truth about his murder has not be revealed. The huge bomb attack on the A29 Trapani-Palermo highway also killed Falcone's wife Francesca Morvillo and three members of his security detail, Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro, on May 23, 1992.
