it's almost sure that the ndrangheta copied the old camorra rituals and ranks and all copied masonic rituals
I do believe there is some truth to that. The City of Naples and Campania, and the Calabria regions touch each other. I don't doubt that there was some over lap involved. In fact many decades ago I remember Calabrian members who referred to themselves back then as "The Honored Society" calling one another Camorrista, for Camorra, even though they were Calabrian and NOT connected in any way with the Neapolitan group.
