This is the true story of Totò Riina, the Cosa Nostra boss who rose from nothing to become the most powerful man in Sicily. The picture emerges of a bloodthirsty, power-hungry monster who, despite his lowly beginnings, is able to outmanoeuvre the other Mafia chiefs and take control of the organisation. However, the story is not just that of Riina, but also of Sicily itself. D'Avanzo and Bolzoni have transformed a complex series of events spanning several decades into a gripping narrative. In prison for 18 years now, Totò Riina still remains the dictator of the Cosa Nostra. This book tells the haunting and disturbing tale, with thorough investigation and testimony of the Sicilian Corleone.

Secrecy is one of the defining characteristics of the Italian Mafia. Wiretaps, financial records, and the rare informant occasionally reveal its inner workings, but these impressions are all too often spotty and fleeting, hampering serious scholarship on this major form of criminal activity. During her years as a consultant to the Italian government agency responsible for combating organized crime, Letizia Paoli was given unparalleled insider access to the confessions by pentiti (literally, repentants), former Mafia operatives who had turned. This mafia "hard core" came primarily from the two largest and most influential Southern Italian mafia associations, known as Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta, each composed of about one hundred mafia families. The sheer volume of these confessions, numbering in the hundreds, and the detail they contained, enabled the Italian government to effectively break up the Italian mafia in one of the dramatic law enforcement successes in modern times. It is on these same documents that Paoli draws to provide a clinically accurate portrait of mafia behavior, motivations, and structure. Puncturing academic notions of a modernized Mafia, Paoli argues that to view mafia associations as bureaucracies, illegal enterprises, or an industry specializing in private protection, is overly simplistic and often inaccurate. These conceptions do not adequately describe the range of functions in which the mafia engages, nor do they hint at the mafia's limitations. The mafia, Paoli demonstrates are essentially multifunctional ritual brotherhoods focused above all on retaining and consolidating their local political power base. It is precisely this myopia that has prevented these organizations from developing the skills needed to be a successful and lasting player in the entrepreneurial world of illegal global commerce. 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.

In the 1980s, the broad legal mandate of the RICO act succeeded in crushing much of the backbone of the traditional American Mafia. Across the ocean however, in the ancestral Sicilian homeland of La Cosa Nostra, the Mafia was anything but finished. Possessed of a power thought to rival that of the Italian state itself, for the past decades, the Sicilian Mafia has waged a war on the forces of law and order that has not only left thousands dead, but has created a ripple effect of crime and violence that can be felt on the streets of America's cities today. Taking us into the eye of this criminal storm, Boss of Bosses tells the story of Bernardo Provenzano, who rose from humble origins to become the head of the Sicilian Mafia, overseeing a deadly empire of corruption so large in scope, the full sweep of its dark reach has yet to be fully accounted. On the run for over 43 years before his arrest, Provenzano's life is a testament to Mafia history, and typifies the code of the ultimate gangster.

Salvo Riina is the third son of Totò Riina and Ninetta Bagarella. Giovanni, the second son, is serving a life sentence like his father Totò. Salvo Riina, a year younger than Giovanni, has recently finished serving an 8-years and 10 months sentence for Mafia association. He now lives in Padua, Italy, where he is on probation for the next two years. His father, Totò Riina, is referred to by everyone as "il capo dei capi" of Cosa Nostra and is serving life imprisonment at 41, having been found guilty of heinous murders. Salvo Riina, however, felt the need to write this book, not to challenge the various convictions of the judges, but to describe life from within his family. To show the dynamics that develop in a family where their children, just teenagers, know that their father is called Giuseppe Bellomo and by profession he is a surveyor, who cannot attend any kind of school, who changed their homes several times a year, and who everyone respects this strange surveyor, wherever they go to live. And this remained until January 1993, when Totò Riina was captured. They go to live in Corleone, of which they had so much heard of, but they had never set foot in it. Thus, begins the realization of who actually was their father, they begin to make themselves account of how hard life is being followed step by step from law enforcement and how hard it is, if not impossible, to look for your own way with that last name that they find themselves. However, there is also a growing awareness that, in any case, Totò Riina was the father they played with, lived with and who loved them. The result is a completely different glimpse of family life from the ordinary, which shows us not "il capo dei capi", but a man with his weaknesses, with his own Feelings. The attitude of the mother also stands out, Ninetta Bagarella, who played the role of "teacher at home" for the preparation of their own children, having not had the opportunity to attend normal schools having been born "a fugitive". And that's why the relationship of the four children with mom has been, and is, very tight. A biography that is an absolute novelty in this genre and that, knowing how to read in watermark, communicates moments and situations that we would never have thought could develop into such a particular family. In the end it is the attempt to open a dialogue with the many readers who will read these pages. Perhaps this is the real reason why Salvo Riina has wanted to write this book. After so much silence it is finally time to show what was the family life of Totò Riina.

The role of women in the Italian mafias has long been overlooked. Reduced to victim status and relegated to domestic life in a male-dominated society, women serve as the mafia's respectable facade: virtuous and docile. It is hard to picture these immaculate figures married to and raising brutal killers. But, as Milka Kahn and Anne Véron reveal in this absorbing book, women have always been at the heart of Italy's criminal organizations, as the guarantors of mafia culture. While the men are behind bars or on the run, it is left to their wives and mothers to uphold and pass on the 'family values'. Once widowed, they push their sons to vendetta; they are increasingly becoming others become mafia chiefs in their own right. Yet many also decide to risk their lives and break with 'the Family', collaborating with the authorities and renouncing mafia society in search of a normal life. So who are these women? Are they pure Madonnas, or dangerous Godmothers? Women of Honor paints a complex and fascinating portrait through extremely rare interviews with the women themselves, who have overcome a culture of silence to share their extraordinary lives.

Blood ceremonies, obscure symbols, elaborate codes, brutal executions: the arcane remnants of a defunct culture? The Mafia, this book suggests, is not nearly as bizarre as all that, not nearly as remote as we might think. In fact, as Diego Gambetta's analysis unfolds, the Mafia begins to resemble any other business. In a society where trust is in short supply, this business sells protection, a guarantee of safe conduct for commercial and social transactions. It grudgingly shares the market with other concerns like itself, of which it is merely the most successful. The author develops his elegant economic theory with ample evidence, much of it based on the remarkable work done by Judge Giovanni Falcone and his colleagues in Palermo and Agrigento in the 1980s. Drawing on the confessions of eight Mafiosi and the trials their revelations triggered, Gambetta is able to explain all manner of peculiar Mafia marketing strategies that have been endlessly misinterpreted in the past. He makes illuminating - and unexpected - comparisons between the business of protection and ordinary industries, such as automotive insurance, and advertising. And he teases out the subtle distinctions between protection and extortion, in which the protector himself poses a threat. This new approach reshapes traditional interpretations of the Mafia - its origins, functions, and social consequences. Applying informal economic analysis, Gambetta shows how such a recognized evil can perform a real service, and how such a recognizable service can inflict great harm on a society.

Il est celui qui a porté les paysans de Corleone jusqu’aux sommets du gouvernement mafieux. On lui doit d’avoir réécrit les règles du jeu entre la mafia et l’État ainsi qu’entre les familles elles mêmes. Dans les années 90, Toto Riina avait définitivement transformé Cosa Nostra en « Cosa Riina ». Sa Cause et sa Chose. Criminel du plus haut niveau, personnalité énigmatique, ignorant doté pourtant d’une intelligence vive et intuitive, il est soupçonné d’avoir commandité les meurtres de près de mille personnes, magistrats, juges, hauts fonctionnaires..., et d’être personnellement l’auteur d’une quarantaine d’assassinats. Sa chute, après vingt années de cavale, pouvait faire croire que l’aventure était close. Pour révéler les secrets de son ascension, Attilio Bolzoni et Giuseppe d’Avanzo sont devenus des familiers de ses terres, se sont entretenus avec ses proches, ceux qui l’ont connu, combattu, trahi, jugé. Car aujourd’hui encore, on continue de le craindre. A Corleone, tout est resté comme avant. Attilio Bolzoni et Giuseppe D’Avanzo reporters à la Repubblica figurent parmi les journalistes les plus accrédités d’Italie.

The pre-dawn arrests of the last remaining mafiosi in December 2008 signalled the end of the Sicilian Mafia as we know it. In Mafia: Inside the Dark Heart, A.G.D. Maran charts the complete history of the world's most infamous criminal organisation, from its first incarnation as an alternative form of local government in the Sicilian countryside and arguable force for 'good' to the more familiar form that has been immortalised in films such as The Godfather, and its final defeat after a long-awaited change of attitude by the Italian government. The author has used his many Italian contacts and a decade of exhaustive research to bring to life the story of the Sicilian Mafia while also exploring the links to the Cosa Nostra in America. Along the way, he asks many provocative questions, including: Why was Lucky Luciano, the father of modern organised crime, freed from a life sentence in America and deported to Italy, allowing him to organise the international drug trade? Was the Mafia involved in the death of Pope John Paul I? Why did the Mafia murder Roberto Calvi, known as God's Banker? What is the relationship between the Mafia and Freemasonry? Why did successive Italian governments fail to tackle the Mafia? Why did it take 40 years to find the Last Godfathers? These and many other riveting issues are covered in Maran's refreshing new take on a perennially enthralling subject.
