"I have always noticed that the only figure defined as ‘unjust’ in the Gospel is that of a judge: and it seemed to me an apt definition. Fascism was less hateful than this robed bureaucracy that used violence in the name of justice. In Italian history, if freedom had prevailed, as I now believe to be certain, the names of the magistrates of Milan, Di Pietro, Borrelli, Davigo, and Boccassini would have been forever ‘signati nigro lapillo’ as figures to be remembered with horror, those of the unjust judge."
