CATANIA – «The Catania Police Headquarters takes a lot but gives you a lot. It will be an absolutely intriguing experience. Sicily is an incredible professional gym ». This was stated by the new commissioner of Catania, Vito Calvino, 59, who today took office in the city. Calvino, who comes from the Messina Police Headquarters, added as in Sicily “you have the opportunity to deal with any problem related to common and organized crime by gaining experience with the best prosecutors in the Italian Republic”.

«With Catania – explained Calvino – I complete the triptych of the Sicilian cities. After Palermo and Messina, I enjoy Catania, a city full of charm and potential, but with the problems of a big city … », said Calvino.

Originally from Palermo, he was Chief of Police of Messina and in the past head of the second department of the Dia, the Anti-Mafia Investigative Directorate and head of the Palermo Mobile Squad. «After the experience at the Brancaccio Commissariat and the Palermo Mobile Squad – added Calvino – the recent Messina experience allows me to differentiate between the large metropolitan cities, with many common things, but just as different. Our activity, the so-called ‘control of the territory’, has a double function: on the preventive and repressive side and in the fight against crime. It is not simple, but it is our ambition … ».

He leaves me a “very performing machine” », Calvino said again, underlining how« Catania is an absolute excellence and it is the story that tells it.
