When in 1998 the first D'Alema cabinet was sworn in,dalla Chiesa refrained from voting for trust because the government was also supported also by Francesco Cossiga with whom dalla Chiesa had a bad relationship,since he accused the former president of Italy of raising many malevolences against his father when he was prefect in Palermo.

Among his most known works is the 1992 book Il giudice ragazzino (The Boy Judge),a tribute essay dedicated to Rosario Livatino,a young Sicilian judge who had been murdered by the Mafia in 1990. In telling the experience and the tragic end of Livatino,dalla Chiesa reconstructs his vision of the connection between the Mafia,politics and institutions in Sicily and Italy in the late 1980s,indicating the murder of the judge as one of the highest triumphs of criminal powers. [11]
The 1994 film Law of Courage is based on dalla Chiesa's book.
