  • Giuseppe Fava also known as Pippo, was a Sicilian writer, investigative journalist, playwright and Antimafia activist who was killed by the Mafia. He was the founder of the I Siciliani monthly magazine. His motto in life was: "is there any use in living if you don't have the courage to fight?" Fava studied law but became a professional journalist in 1952. He became the editor in chief of Espresso Sera daily newspaper in Catania — the main city on Sicily's east coast — and in 1980 of Il Giornale del Sud, where he formed a team of young journalist that turned the paper into an independent, investigative journal. At the time not much was known about the owners but it became clear that some of them had connections with the Mafia. Fava was fired.
  • Giuseppe Fava, auch als Pippo bekannt, war ein italienischer Schriftsteller und Dramatiker.
  • Nel 1956 venne assunto dall'Espresso sera, di cui fu caporedattore fino al 1980. Scriveva di vari argomenti, dal cinema al calcio, ma i suoi lavori migliori furono una serie di interviste ad alcuni boss di Cosa nostra, tra cui Calogero Vizzini e Giuseppe Genco Russo. Molti lo avrebbero visto alla direzione del secondo quotidiano catanese, ma l'editore Mario Ciancio Sanfilippo gli preferì un altro giornalista, si disse perché non facilmente controllabile da chi comandava.
