Giorgio Ambrosoli was murdered on July 11 1979 in Milan by a hitman hired by the bankrupt banker Michele Sindona as part of an international criminal financial affair with significant historical-legislative impacts, in particular on the New York-Milan high profile financial axis. The figure of Giorgio Ambrosoli ideally dialogues with three Italians who are also very well-known at an international level: the magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Giuseppe Borsellino and General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, emblems and witnesses of the extraordinary effort made by the Italian police forces to combat criminal groups.
