Pour la première fois, un ouvrage dévoile les liaisons dangereuses entre l'industrie du cinéma américain et la Mafia. Dès la Prohibition, les gangs rackettent aussi bien les exploitants de salles que les studios. Après une résistance toute symbolique, les grands Moguls accueillent à bras ouverts les Al Capone, Lucky Luciano ou plus tard Sam Giancana dans la jet set hollywoodienne. Ainsi débute une fascination réciproque, qui va influencer le film «mafieux» nourri aux meilleures sources, de Scarface au Parrain. De Joe Kennedy, le père de JFK, amant de Gloria Swanson et propriétaire du studio RKO, aux stars du grand écran, ce livre révèle les amitiés des «parrains», parfois aventurés dans la production. On y apprend bien des «secrets de famille», tels que le meurtre par Lana Turner de son gangster d'amant ou le financement par une famille mafieuse du premier grand succès du porno, Gorge profonde... On croisera ici des acteurs dont la carrière a été soutenue par la Mafia : Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin ou Steven Seagal. Mais aussi des stars mêlées, malgré elles, à des agissements frauduleux, comme Kim Novak, maîtresse de Sammy Davis Jr, ou Marilyn Monroe surveillée par le FBI. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, plusieurs studios comme Warner ou Universal continuent à entretenir des liens avec la Mafia. Et, dans les années 1990, le financier Giancarlo Parretti rachète la MGM avec des fonds d'origine mafieuse et l'aide du Crédit lyonnais... Désormais plus discrète, la Mafia reste cinéphile ! Tim Adler est rédacteur en chef du magazine britannique Screen Finance et collabore au Financial Times, au Daily Telegraph ainsi qu'à The Independent. Ce livre est déjà traduit dans une dizaine de langues.

Los gemelos Bianci tienen controlada la Costa Este de EEUU. Como capos de La Cosa Nostra ejercen todo el poder en su territorio desde hace años, hasta que llega Francesco Benutti, capo de otra rama de la mafia italoamericana en Canadá, la 'Ndrangheta. Francesco sabe que es demasiado viejo para estar vivo y, ante un inminente golpe dentro de su famiglia para arrebatarle el mando y matarlo, decide hacer un trato con los hermanos Bianci para cederles el dominio de su familia. A través de Dante Bianci quiere pasar el poder de la 'Ndrangheta de Canadá a La Cosa Nostra de Nueva York, algo sin precedentes. Los hermanos Bianci no pueden resistirse a la oferta, ya que serían los hombres con más poder en Norteamérica, pero todo trato tiene dos caras. Francesco les pide que acojan a su nieta y la sobrina de su consigliere mientras la transición de poder se lleva a cabo en Canadá para evitar que las maten. Parece algo fácil de cumplir, ¿no? Al menos eso creían hasta que conocieron a una princesa mimada de la mafia y a la hija de un traidor.Idara Giordano tuvo que presenciar la muerte de su padre con diez años. A partir de ahí, su vida ha sido un constante cúmulo de burlas y desprecio por ser hija de un reconocido traidor de la mafia. Ahora está en Nueva York, junto a la nieta del capo de Canadá, la cual no duda en seguir siendo igual de «simpática» que cuando estaban en casa. Pero si algo ha demostrado en estos años Idara, es que da igual quien quiera ser su capo, ella es y siempre será una orgullosa Giordano. Solo espera que los idiotas de Nueva York no le peguen un tiro por ello.

When we think of the Italian Mafia, we think of Marlon Brando, Tony Soprano, and the Corleones--iconic actors and characters who give shady dealings a mythical pop presence. Yet these sensational depictions take us only so far. The true story of the Mafia reveals both an organization and mindset dedicated to the preservation of tradition. It is no accident that the rise of the Mafia coincided with the unification of Italy and the influx of immigrants into America. The Mafia means more than a horse head under the sheets--it functions as an alternative to the state, providing its own social and political justice. Combining a nuanced history with a unique counternarrative concerning stereotypes of the immigrant, Salvatore Lupo, a leading historian of modern Italy and a major authority on its criminal history, has written the definitive account of the Sicilian Mafia from 1860 to the present. Consulting rare archival sources, he traces the web of associations, both illicit and legitimate, that have defined Cosa Nostra during its various incarnations. He focuses on several crucial periods of transition: the Italian unification of 1860 to 1861, the murder of noted politician Notarbartolo, fascist repression of the Mafia, the Allied invasion of 1943, social conflicts after each world war, and the major murders and trials of the 1980s. Lupo identifies the internal cultural codes that define the Mafia and places these codes within the context of social groups and communities. He also challenges the belief that the Mafia has grown more ruthless in recent decades. Rather than representing a shift from "honorable" crime to immoral drug trafficking and violence, Lupo argues the terroristic activities of the modern Mafia signify a new desire for visibility and a distinct break from the state. Where these pursuits will take the family adds a fascinating coda to Lupo's work.

The Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is one of the most intriguing criminal phenomena in the world. It is an unparalleled organised criminal grouping that over almost two centuries has been able not only to successfully permeate licit and illicit economy, politics and civil society, but also to influence and exercise authoritative power over both the underworld and the upper-world. This criminal phenomenon has been a captivating conundrum for scholars of different disciplines who have tried to explain with various paradigms the reasons behind the emergence and consolidation of the mafia. Challenging the Mafia Mystique provides an analysis of the changes the Sicilian mafia has undergone, from legitimisation to denunciation. Rino Coluccello highlights how, from the very emergence of the organised criminal groups in Sicily, a culture existed that was protective and tolerant of the mafia. He argues that the various conceptualisations of the mafia that dominated the public and scientific debate in the nineteenth and more than half of the twentieth century created a mystique, which legitimised the mafia and contributed to their success. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of organised crime, Italian politics and Italian literature.

Mafia-type organizations generate several distorting effects on the economy. In Italy their presence is endemic, and not only in Southern regions such as Sicily, Campania or Calabria. Such organizations endure the fierce and continuous pressure exerted by Italian anti-mafia policy, maybe the most articulate and effective such policy in the world. Nevertheless, they have survived by submerging, transforming, and relocating their operations. The analysis of the different Mafias of today benefits from a huge amount of empirical data produced by investigators. This allows us to outline more reliable indexes of the penetration of Mafiosi in given territories, as well as to estimate the size of their activities in a transparent and empirically testable way. The contributions gathered in this book stem from the application of an innovative methodology originally introduced by the Fondazione Rocco Chinnici, and they enlarge our understanding of such a complex and dynamic phenomenon. After the presentation of the approach, the chapters are devoted to the Camorra's present situation, to an estimate of the size of extortion, to a comparison between Cosa Nostra and Camorra, to the analysis of wiretapped conversations and, finally, to the delocalization of Mafias and the perspectives of a European anti-mafia policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime.

The mafia is the impenetrable and seemingly infallible embodiment of notoriety and criminality. Umberto Santino, one of Italy's leading mafia experts, here provides a new perspective on the mafia: as a polymorphic organization which encompasses crime, the accumulation of corruptly acquired wealth and power, the cultural code of omerta and consensus. Exploring the movements which strive to fight against the powers of the mafia, such as the campaigns of civil society organizations like the Centro siciliano di documentazione, the author also provides a fresh look at the mechanisms - and struggles - of the antimafia movement.

Relying on previously undisclosed confessions of former mafia members now cooperating with the police, Letizia Paoli provides a clinically accurate portrait of mafia behavior, motivations, and structure in Italy. The mafia, Paoli demonstrates, are essentially multifunctional ritual brotherhoods focused above all on retaining and consolidating their local political power base. A truly interdisciplinary work of history, politics, economics, and sociology, Mafia Brotherhoods reveals in dramatic detail the true face of one of the world's most mythologized criminal organizations.

Using in-depth field research and analysis of case studies, Mafia Violence: Political, Symbolic, and Economic Forms of Violence in Camorra Clans focuses attention on the phenomenon of violence performed by Italian organised crime groups, devoting specific attention to the Camorra, which has been responsible since the mid-1980s for almost half of all mafia homicides documented in Italy. The Camorra has acquired increased visibility at an international level due to its intense use of violence and high level of dangerousness, but until now, the study of the different forms of violence implemented by mafias has not received systematic attention at the scientific level. Hence, this book fills this gap by providing a both theoretical and empirical contribution toward the analysis of one of the most unknown – although highly visible and dangerous – dimension of mafias’ action. This collection of work by distinguished scholars provides a unique overview of the multifaceted characteristics of violence currently performed by mafia groups in Italy by focusing on specific actors – i.e., Camorra clans – but also other traditional mafia organisations such as Cosa Nostra and ’Ndrangheta; specific contexts – i.e., different territories and different markets, both legal and illegal; and specific practices and performances. Part I takes a diachronic and comparative perspective to provide an overview of mafias’ violence during the past 30 years, focusing on the three most prominent criminal organisations active in Italy: Camorra, Cosa Nostra, and ’Ndrangheta. Based on the outcomes of a major project carried out by a research group at the University of Naples Federico II from 2015 to 2017, Part II looks at the use of violence by Camorra clans, incorporating information from case studies, judicial files, law enforcement investigations, wiretappings, interviews with privileged observers, firsthand empirical data, and historical documents and social sciences literature. Using a multi-disciplinary approach drawing from criminology, sociology, history, anthropology, economics, political science, and geography, this book is essential reading for international researchers and practitioners interested in piecing together the full picture of modern organised crime.
