Great Lives

Matthew Parris presents the biographical series in which his guests choose someone who has inspired their lives. Journalist Misha Glenny remembers the life of anti-Mafia campaigner Giovanni Falcone, whose work on the 1986 Maxi trial contributed to over 3,000 convictions. Falcone was blown up by the Mafia near Palermo airport in May 1992. Matthew and Misha are joined by Diego Gambetta, who offers expert comment.
