Italy 2 euro 2022 - 30 years since the murders of judges Falcone and Borsellino

New bimetallic circulating commemorative:

"30 years since the murders of judges Falcone and Borsellino"

Judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino spent most of their distinguished professional careers trying to overthrow the power of the Sicilian Mafia.

Falcone was assassinated by the Corleonesi mafia in a bombing in Sicily on 23 May 1992, on the A29 motorway near Palermo airport, on his way home after returning from Rome. The devastating blast also killed Falcone's wife, Francesca Movillo, and three police officers, Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro.

On 19 July 1992, Borsellino was killed by a car bomb on Via d'Amelio in Palermo, along with five police officers, Agostino Catalano, Walter Cosina, Emanuela Loi, Vincenzo Li Muli and Claudio Traina.

To mark the 30th anniversary of the murders of Falcone and Borsellino, Italy has issued this special €2 coin in their honour:
