Se dal latifondo riuscir= a migrare e a consolidarsi nella citt=, se riuscira ad accagliarsi intomo alla burocra7ia regionale, se riuscir= ad inEiltrarsi. (vol. Ill, p. 1185) The fact is that the MaEia in Sicily is still powerful a force: itGs certainly struggling to survive unless it manages to accomplish its current transformation. If from the latifundia it manages to migrate and consolidate inside the cities, if it manages to attach itself to the regional bureaucracies, if it manages to inEiltrate society.%% % “Il sacco di Palermo” >> 1950s/1960s Vito Ciancimino DC Counsellor for Public works, 1959-64; Mayor 1970-71 Salvo Lima DC Deputy Mayor 1956-58; Mayor 1958-63, 1965-66; MP 1968; MEP 1979-92 I cento passi Urbanization the mafiosi’s past – Palermo’s airport Control of local economy: protection, racketeering the bosses’ power Alliance with corrupted politicians the mayor, the police Building industry and public contracts airport, motorway Cinisi % Cinisi: about%41,000%inhabitants,%%20miles%west%of%Palermo%% % Local mafia boss: Cesare Manzella, linked to Salvatore Greco (family of Ciaculli) First Mafia war: La Barbera (Borgo Vecchio) vs Greco (Ciaculli): 1963 Salvatore La Barbera: lupara bianca, Jan Cesare Manzella: car bomb, 26 Apr Ciaculli massacre: car bomb, 30 Jun 1969 Michele Cavataio (Acquasanta): shot, 10 Dec Gaetano Badalamenti (Tano): 1963 replaces Manzella as boss of Cinisi Links with Bonanno family (NY) The new Mafia: Arms and drugs trafficking; more violent and more powerful.
