Just puts in perspective how minimal the mafia is here in America.
That map is fuckin amazing. So much power and control over there still.
Not even sure the mafia over here ever had that much power in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
As NYMafia said , never, mafia in Italy is so rooted in the South, the level of control they have there is unbelievable. As someone on this forum once said: "They earn a penny every time someone flushes the toilet"
Not only in the south, for example, during the 1950s and 1960s, over four million people migrated from Southern Italy to the great industrial cities in the North. (Milan, Turin, Genoa etc..).
The power the Grande Aracri clan had/has in Reggio Emilia is similar to what they have in Calabria.
