Conspiracy theories in Republican Italy: the Pellegrino Report to the Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism
2015
This article analyses the draft of the final report prepared by Senator Giovanni Pellegrino, who from 1994 to 2001 chaired the ‘Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on terrorism in Italy and on the causes of the failure to identify those responsible for the massacres’. The document was completed in 1995 and attempted a general interpretation of the causes of the political violence that had been a major feature of the history of the Italian Republic up to that point. The report was closely connected with what is often described as the moment of the transition between Italy's ‘first’ and ‘second’ Republic and, in keeping with revisionist theories current at the time, attributed responsibility …
Poliziotti, carabinieri e mafiosi a Palermo (1962-1974)
2020
Vittorio Coco* L’articolo consiste in un inquadramento della Pubblica sicurezza (Ps) a Palermo tra gli anni Sessanta e la prima metà degli anni Settanta del Novecento. Si tratta di un momento significativo perché fu allora che gli apparati di sicurezza cominciarono a riattrezzarsi per il contrasto al fenomeno mafioso, in conseguenza della recrudescenza criminale e del mutato clima politico. All’interno dell’articolo un particolare rilievo è stato dato sia alle figure dei questori che si avvicendarono, sia alla squadra mobile che, esercitando le funzioni di polizia giudiziaria, rivestiva un ruolo centrale da un punto di vista investigativo. Inoltre, per ragionare in maniera più completa dell…
Criminalpol Sicilia and the mafia, 1966-1981
2022
This article reconstructs events relating to the Centro di coordinamento regionale di polizia criminale (Criminalpol Sicilia) in Palermo, from its establishment in the second half of the 1960s up to the beginning of the 1980s. Created in order to unify and coordinate mafia investigations at the regional level, Criminalpol Sicilia became, over time, one of the most significant ventures in the history of the battle against the mafia. First and foremost, this was because during the 1970s it managed to operate in total synergy with the most important investigative bodies engaged in fighting the mafia, including Palermo’s Squadra Mobile (Flying Squad). Secondly, it was because it proved capable …
The pentiti of the Sicilian mafia in the 1930s
2013
Mussolini had declared that Fascism, through the anti-mafia campaign entrusted to Cesare Mori, prefect of Palermo, in the second half of the 1920s, had conclusively liberated Sicily from the mafia. However, from the early 1930s a new deterioration of public order on the island was evident, and the regime was forced to launch a second, and much less publicised, repression of this phenomenon. In the course of its careful investigations the body given responsibility for pursuing this repression, the Ispettorato Generale di Pubblica Sicurezza per la Sicilia, compiled a series of reports, including the Processo verbale di denunzia relating to the area around Palermo. With a level of detail never…

Il poliziotto di un regime totalitario. Vita e carriera di Giuseppe Gueli
2013
The aim of this essay is to retrace Giuseppe Gueli’s life and career: a police offi cer (member of the P.S., the Italian public safety), who had formed during the last years of the liberal period, and who went through Italian Fascism and its development into a totalitarian regime. Beginning his career alongside Cesare Mori, Gueli fi lled in fact relevant positions within the Italian police as it had been organized by Arturo Bocchini: at fi rst in Alto Adige (South Tyrol) to set up the awkward system of the border police, in the Thirties Gueli moved to Sicily where he led a second repression campaign against the mafi a and fi nally, during the Forties, he became chief of the Special Inspecto…
