Giovanni Falcone..

I watched a documentary about this awesome man, a few years back. Read his biography the other day.

4 planets in Taurus, 3 planets in Aries. His best friend was a Scorpio who was murdered months before by the mafia.

Giovanni Falcone (18 May 1939 — 23 May 1992) was an Italian prosecuting magistrate. From his office in the Palace of Justice in Palermo (Sicily), he spent most of his professional life trying to overthrow the power of the Sicilian Mafia. After a long and distinguished career, culminating in the famous Maxi Trial in 1986-1987, he was killed by the Corleonesi Mafia in May 1992, on the motorway near the town of Capaci.

His life parallels that of his close friend Paolo Borsellino. They both spent their early years in the same neighbourhood in Palermo. And though many of their childhood friends grew up in the Mafia background, both men fought on the other side of the war as prosecuting magistrates.[1] They were both killed in 1992, a few months apart. In recognition of their tireless effort and sacrifice during the anti-mafia trials, they were both awarded the Italian "Medaglia d'oro al valore civile" (Gold medal for civil valor). They were also named as heroes of the last 60 years in the November 13, 2006, issue of Time Magazine.

They literally had to blow up an entire segment of a highway to kill him. His wife died alongside him in the same car.

Awesome man. It's sad we're living in a world without inspiring models like he was.

Taurus Men, you rock. Ands, not to worry, you still suck.

He who is silent and bows his head dies every time he does so. He who speaks aloud and walks with his head held high dies only once.

—Giovanni Falcone

The Mafia is a human phenomenon and thus, like all human phenomena, it has had a beginning and an evolution, and will also have an end.

—Giovanni Falcone

This is our office, these are our tools, this is our model of efficiency. If you think you can work here, then fair enough.

—Giovanni Falcone

My life is mapped out: it is my destiny to take a bullet by the Mafia some day. The only thing I don't know is when.

—Giovanni Falcone

Oh I know him also.

Yay for Italian Venusians! 😄
