Few people know that the original ‘mafia’ was not the name of a patriotic organization called Morta Alla Francia Italia Anela.
The Purge on the island of Sicily
The Mafia on the island of Sicily gradually developed into a strong force, threatening the stability of Italy.
The rise of the Cosa Nostra gang

The Sicilian Mafia and its post-war power grab
Cooperation with the US military gave gangs the opportunity to develop, and until the war ended, it was time for the Mafia to escape its grip.
Since 1970, gangs began trafficking drugs with a very systematic process.
Thanks to the harmonious operation both in Sicily and the US, in the period 1975 – 1984, the disguised Pizza store system supplied up to 1/3 of the amount of narcotics to the North American market.
