When they put Calo on trial for that murder Buscetta and Francesco Marino Mannoia testified. Francesco was told about it by Stefano Bontate and present were a few others including Emanuele D'Agostino and Salvatore Federico both murdered in 1981 by the Corleonesi and the murder was in the house Francesco Adelfio. The murder was decided in the commission and the reason was some issue with a married woman and Lallicata and also he went against Calo many times "you are not a good boss".

In that trial in the 90s Calo still said to Buscetta "a devil inventing things" and "I don't know anything of this Cosa Nostra" and Buscetta said "you were born in Cosa Nostra and your dad was a mafioso and your uncle as well." Calo's uncle was a goalkeeper for Palermo and member of Porta Nuova family.

Francesco said to Calo "you were an gentleman" in the early 70s. "You should flip, what do you have to lose". Buscetta also said the same to him.

The trials from the 90s were crazy. In another one Salvatore Cancemi was saying thanks to Raffaele Ganci for saving his life and telling him to flip as well.

Calo' protests and Buscetta says "You did it yourself with your own hands" ("Lo hai fatto con le tue mani").

An interesting documentary, that one. I liked most of all the part where they question Michele Greco, who is the chairman of the Commission but basically Toto' Riina's puppet. The judge asks him about the murders he ordered, and Greco says "Violence isn't part of my dignity" ("La violenza non fa parte della mia dignita'") And then, when he is asked if he knew Stefano Bontate (one of the leaders of the opposition against Riina, whacked in 1981) he says "Of course, poor Stefano...He and his brother Giovanni used to visit my estate, when they were still kids wearing short pants" and later invites the judge to visit his land property too. Sounds like a cruel humor joke, remembering when they invited Salvatore Scaglione, Rosario Riccobono and others (about 10 in all) to visit Michele Greco's estate....And nobody came back! I wonder whether the judge remembered that, when listening to Greco's invitation

Io desidero farle un augurio:io vi auguro la pace signor presidente,a tutti voi auguro la pace,perchè la pace è la tranquilittà e la serenità dello spirito e della coscienza. Per il compito che vi aspetta,mi deve scusare signor presidente,la serenità è la base fondamentale per giudicare; non sono parole mie,sono parole di Nostro Signore,che lo raccomandò a Mosè,quando devi giudicare che ci sia la massima serenità,che è la base fondamentale e vi auguro ancora signor presidente che questa pace,vi accompagnerà nel resto della vostra vita,oltre a questa occasione.
