(ANSA) – PALERMO, AUGUST 24 – He spent his life to keep up not only the memory but also the democratic ideal of Sicilian independence. Pippo Scianò, founder and animator of the independent Sicilian-Sicily National Front, a small political group that often showed up at electoral appointments, died. Scianò, who was a manager of the Sicilian Region, tried to resume a controversial vein of history, to which the bandit Salvatore Giuliano had tried to connect, and has always fought for the affirmation of the principles of a Sicily-nation that has become ” province “after the national unity process.
In reconstructing the roots of independence, Scianò tried to interpret its popular and democratic soul, the one that referred to Antonio Canepa. In many documents he has supported a line of openness to the Mediterranean countries and of hospitality. Although he was described as “the last independent” committed to building a now folkloric image of a movement that had had a certain weight in the post-war period, he was a curious intellectual and a lover of Sicilian history who he had also reinterpreted through some books including ” The forgotten army “, a reinterpretation of the southern question, which he considered a” poisoned “legacy of the Italian Risorgimento. In another book – “.. and in the month of May 1860 Sicily became a colony” – Scianò had attacked, in order to demolish it, the Garibaldi revolution which, in his opinion, marked the definitive demolition of every autonomist aspiration in Sicily.
