Salvo Riina, however, felt the need to write this book, not to challenge the various convictions of the judges, but to describe life from within his family. To show the dynamics that develop in a family where their children, just teenagers, know that their father is called Giuseppe Bellomo and by profession he is a surveyor, who cannot attend any kind of school, who changed their homes several times a year, and who everyone respects this strange surveyor, wherever they go to live. And this remained until January 1993, when Totò Riina was captured.
They go to live in Corleone, of which they had so much heard of, but they had never set foot in it. Thus, begins the realization of who actually was their father, they begin to make themselves account of how hard life is being followed step by step from law enforcement and how hard it is, if not impossible, to look for your own way with that last name that they find themselves. However, there is also a growing awareness that, in any case, Totò Riina was the father they played with, lived with and who loved them.
The result is a completely different glimpse of family life from the ordinary, which shows us not "il capo dei capi", but a man with his weaknesses, with his own Feelings.
The attitude of the mother also stands out, Ninetta Bagarella, who played the role of "teacher at home" for the preparation of their own children, having not had the opportunity to attend normal schools having been born "a fugitive". And that's why the relationship of the four children with mom has been, and is, very tight.
A biography that is an absolute novelty in this genre and that, knowing how to read in watermark, communicates moments and situations that we would never have thought could develop into such a particular family.
In the end it is the attempt to open a dialogue with the many readers who will read these pages. Perhaps this is the real reason why Salvo Riina has wanted to write this book. After so much silence it is finally time to show what was the family life of Totò Riina.
