Yes, they are very similar to groups of Roma and Traveller origins. Gioacchino Bonarrigo, arrested in Holland three years ago, was known as “the gypsy” to his friends.


The Strangio-Nirta clan members themselves are not Romani, as far as I know.
There was another clan over here active who were originally from Torano Castello, which is Abbruzzese/Rango-Zingari territory (a clan of Roma origin).

It's a bit difficult to determine who's Romani and who's not in Calabria. They seem to be very integrated over there and regard themselves as Calabrian first and foremost.
