E il conflitto, che vedeva amici di un tempo gli uni contro gli altri, esplose anche nei luoghi di Leonardo Sciascia, il grande scrittore che proprio sessant'anni fa fece letteratura delle cronache del suo paese con Le parrocchie di Regalpetra.

Per segnalare questi tremendi conflitti utilizzeremmo d'istinto un simbolo chiarissimo e autospiegante, una fiamma che divampa.
