The first Mafia war started in 1962, I can imagine it would be dangerous to go to Palermo.
The First Mafia War was the first high-profile conflict between Mafia clans in post-war Italy. In 1962, mafia boss Cesare Manzella organized a drug shipment to the United States with the help of two Sicilian clans, the Grecos and the La Barberas.
After a stay in the United States, where he had spent many years organising gambling houses in Chicago, Manzella settled back in Cinisi after he was expelled by US authorities in 1947.
Manzella sided with the Grecos and became the target of the rival faction. Manzella was killed on April 26, 1963, when he was blown to pieces by a car bomb.Pieces of Manzella's body were found stuck to lemon trees hundreds of meters from the crater where the car had been.
