    AN/SO/PO 350 ORGANIZED CRIME IN ITALY: MAFIAS, MURDERS AND BUSINESS IES Abroad Rome Virtual World DiscoverIES Program DESCRIPTION: This course analyzes the role of organized crime in Italy through historical, structural, and cultural perspectives. After an overview of the various criminal organizations that are active both in Italy and abroad, the course will focus mainly on the Sicilian mafia, Cosa Nostra. Discussion topics will include both mafia wars, the importance of the investigators Falcone and Borsellino, the Maxi Trial, and the anti-mafia state organizations, from their origins to their role today in the struggle against organized crime. The course will highlight the creation of the International Department against Mafia and the legislation developed specifically to aid in the fight against criminal organizations. It will examine the ties between Cosa Nostra and Italian politics, the period of terrorist attacks, and response of the Italian government. Finally, the course will look at the other two most powerful criminal organizations in Italy: the Camorra, especially through the writings of Roberto Saviano, and the Ndrangheta, today’s richest and most powerful criminal organization, which has expanded throughout Europe and particularly in Germany, as evidenced by the terrorist attack in Duisburg.

  • Brief History of Sicilian Mafia
    For centuries, there had been banditry in southern Italy. It is not surprising when we consider that the area south of Rome was ruled for hundreds of years by foreign powers and the land was generally (mis)managed by absentee landlords. In their absence, the bandits stepped in to enforce the payment of dues or meagre profits from the peasants to the landowners, creaming a lot off the top. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor was no part of their raison d’etre. Over time, they became the landowners’ enforcers and then began to take over large tracts but it was the unification of Italy, following Garibaldi’s march through Sicily and up through southern Italy defeating and forcing the capitulation of the Spanish Bourbons, rulers of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which gave them their greatest opportunity . If you have read “The Leopard” by Giuseppe di Lampedusa or seen the film, you will have recognised that the Mafia were gaining an important role in the running of Sicilian cities, towns and regions; they were gaining election as mayors and they were marrying into families of the nobility of the island. The Risorgimento whilst unifying the country also exaggerated the division between the north and the south. Sicilians often used to dispute (at least publicly) the existence of the Mafia or La Cosa Nostra (Our Thing) as the organisation names itself. They claimed that it was a northern construct. However, there is an excellent book by Gianni Riotta, “Prince of the Clouds”, which describes how the mafia, acting as a private army on behalf of the landowner against her peasants, uses force and murder to keep the poor of Sicily under control.

Copenhagen Business School, July 2008 Advisor: Susanne Gram Larsen By Ditte Roslyng Tastesen © Ditte Roslyng Tastesen 2008 Acknowledgements When first starting this project in Sicily, I experienced many obstacles, and doubted that I would succeed in completing this project. However, later in the process I was met with the kindness, which Sicilians are known for. Therefore, I would like to thank all of my interview people – they will be named later in the thesis – for taking their time and sharing so honestly their experiences and knowledge with me. Without them, this thesis would not have been possible. Particularly, I would like to thank Salvatore Costantino from University of Palermo for his guidance during my stay in Palermo. I would like to extend my thank you to other people that have crossed my way in Sicily, their openness and willingness to share have been of great use for a complete picture of the situation in Sicily. I would also like to thank Thomas Harder for his guidance in the beginning of the research process, and especially in connection with the mafia. Finally, I would like to thank Susanne Gram Larsen for guiding and encouraging me throughout the process. Her professionalism, knowledge and personal support have been invaluable and have helped me produce a project that I am proud of.

  • Fighting the Sicilian Mafia Through Tourism | Travel | the Guardian
    Fighting the Sicilian mafia through tourism | Travel | The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/may/17/sicily.italy/print De-mob happy After decades of Mafia rule in Sicily, locals are fighting back - and they are asking tourists to help them, by staying in B&Bs, eating in restaurants and shopping in delis that refuse to pay protection money. Stephanie Rafanelli reports Stephanie Rafanelli The Guardian, Saturday May 17 2008 The real good fellas ... Antica Foccaceria San Francesco restaurant, Palermo. Photograph: David Levene It was Sunday lunchtime in Palermo's Piazza San Francesco and the air was thick with charcoal smoke and chatter. A vendor poked an octopus as it roasted on the open grill, releasing a whiff of warm olive oil and lemon that mingled with the city's characteristic scent of brine and dust. A girl carried a tray of sweet cannoli high above her head, navigating stalls of sardine rolls and anchovies frizzling in floury pans. The crowd went about its usual business - church bells chimed and a christening party spilt out of Basilica San Francesco D'Assisi, bobbing the newly baptized bundle as they strolled. But this was no ordinary Sunday market. It was the "Free Sicily" organic food fair, part of a growing and increasingly visible movement run by young Palermitans rebelling against the mafia, or Cosa Nostra, and the stranglehold organised crime has on the Sicilian people. "Whatever you do, DON'T mention the M-A-F-I-A," my northern Italian uncle warned me before my last visit to Sicily - a dusty road trip in a clapped-out Cinquecento in 1993 just after the arrest of the boss of bosses Salvatore Totò Riina.

Printed from The Times of India -Breaking news, views. reviews, cricket from across India Italians saying no to paying mafia protection money 23 Oct 2007, 0653 hrs IST, REUTERS SMS NEWS to 58888 for latest updates ROME: When the Sicilian mafia first tried to shake down restaurateur Vincenzo Conticello for $700 a month, he quoted his grandmother Ermelinda at them: "Don’t start paying up or you will always be a servant, never a free man." Unconvinced by his late granny’s reason for not paying the "pizzo" - protection money paid all over southern Italy and by up to eight out of 10 businesses in parts of Sicily - the mafia hit back with death threats and a new demand for $70,000. A member of the fifth generation of Conticellos to run Palermo’s Antica Focacceria San Francesco, the 48-year-old stood up in court and pointed the finger at the men he said tried to force him to pay up. "If I had paid up, my grandmother would have turned in her grave," said Conticello, one of a tiny band of business people who, partly inspired by antiracket youth movements such as "www.addiopizzo.org" (" goodbye pizzo" ), have taken a stand. They cannot even dent the mob’s earnings. It is estimated that Italian crime syndicates - the Cosa Nostra, the Camorra in Naples and the ‘Ndrangheta in Calabria - earn $107 billion a year from the protection racket and loan sharking.

  • MAFIA: a Product of the Italian Peculiar Historical Process
    Why Did the Mafia Emerge in Italy? An institutional answer. Silvia Console Battilana# November 2003 I am grateful to Professor Marzio Romani for helpful suggestions and for pointing me toward this subject. I’d also like to thank the following professors for their email responses: Luigino Bruni, Sandro Roventi, Stefano Zamagni, M.Centorrino and F.Ofria. # Stanford University, [email protected] 1 Introduction Why did the Mafia develop in Italy? This paper provides an answer by considering Mafia as an institution1 that arose in a unique cultural context. This context-a product of historical circumstances- included a system of widely held moral beliefs and values that were heavily influenced by the Church and were conducive to the development of Mafia. The first section explains the emergence of Mafia using the HCIA framework. Such an analysis contrasts with common stereotypes of Mafia as a purely criminal activity. The principal argument advanced is that the growth of Mafia was supported by Italian social and cultural retrograde conditions, most notably the practice of clientelism. The underlying system of social and cultural beliefs is a key element to every institution, as it contributes to regularities in behavior. In a realistic world of incomplete information, beliefs determine a given agent’s expectations about 1 This paper relies on the definition of institutions supplied by Grief (2003): “An institution is a system of man made, non-physical factors, that are exogenous to each individual whose behavior they influence. These factors jointly generate a regularity of behavior by enabling, guiding and motivating it.” 2 reactions by other agents and therefore influence the agent’s best response to the environment he faces.
