I think no American gangster, even the most bloodthirsty one, could measure up to the Italian ones in terms of craziness. Among those, I think the craziest was Filippo Marchese. He ran a so-called “room of death” in Palermo and enjoyed watching his victims being tortured while masturbating and snorting cocaine. That’s really sick. Even Totò Riina thought he was too out of control and had him killed after using him in the mafia war.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
