    • Giuseppe Impastato

    Italian political activist

    Giuseppe "Peppino" Impastato (Italian pronunciation:[dʒuˈzɛppepepˈpiːnoimpaˈstaːto]; January 5, 1948 – May 9, 1978), was an Italian political activist who opposed the Mafia, which ordered his murder in 1978.

    Childhood

    Giuseppe "Peppino" Impastato was born in Cinisi, in the then province of Palermo, into a Mafia family. His father Luigi Impastato [it] had been sent into internal exile during the fascist era, and was a close friend of Mafia boss Gaetano Badalamenti.

    His father's brother-in-law, Cesare Manzella, was an important Mafia boss who was killed in car bomb attack in 1963. As an adolescent, Peppino broke off relations with his father – who kicked him out of the house – and initiated a series of political and cultural antimafia activities.[1]

    According to his younger brother Giovanni Impastato, Peppino's antimafia activity might have been triggered by the brutal murder of his uncle
