lol, this is a sore subject with me. But since the wars of the 80's in Sicily and in particular Agrigento (Porto Empedocle), when they were at war with Cosa Nostra and trying to take over, it seems they've made some sort of peace with Cosa Nostra. If you know what's going on down there, you know they're all hurting....bosses have been arrested and it's been hard for them to regroup. As a result, it seems Stidda and Cosa Nostra have been doing business together...mostly involving drugs and sons have tried to align and put the past behind them. Others will never forgive. All in all though, Stidda is still weak and not many left around in Sicily. I could go on and on, but I won't. wink


Interesting.......Seems like the Cosa Nostra is also much less present in Eastern parts of Sicily and Messina.
