I'm really amazed at how Cosa Nostra really has a grip on the island's underworld and everyone listens to whoever it is in charge. There's rarely ever a Mafia killing in Sicily anymore, unlike other Italian regions like Puglia, Campania, and Calabria.


yes, their main target nowadays is the infiltration of politcs/institutions and legit economy minimizing the number of homicides; Cosa Nostra has still a hierarchical structure that's why it kills less than other organizations that have a horizontal one, like the Camorra
