Very true , some of them were even both members of Camorra and Sicilian mafia. Very powerful people and very organized, including Casalesi. But as Toodoped said , today Camorra is several leading clans , a lot of violence , alliances come and go every few years and old clans disappear while new ones appear all the time. Its chaos in Naples.


Precisely. I would love to read more about the old Camorra clans like those ones. The more sophisticated ones that actually had the respect of the powerful sicilian families. They seemed entrepreneurial and also organized. While the Camorra clans you see now like the big alliances fall short in both of those two categories.
