Rosario Livatino was an Italian magistrate born in Canicattì who dedicated his career to fighting organized crime and corruption. After studying law in Palermo, he served in various judicial roles, including as a deputy prosecutor in Agrigento. His commitment to justice led to his assassination in 1990 by the Stidda, a Sicilian criminal organization, while he was traveling to court. He is recognized by the Catholic Church as a martyr of justice, becoming the first magistrate to be beatified.
