The Museum of Las Vegas excludes the bosses of the 'Ndrangheta: "Not very fashionable, they look like shepherds"

Https://www.reggiotv.it/notizie/attuali ... no-pecorai

An old but interesting article

The only Italian admitted to the 'gotha' is Matteo Messina Denaro.

Mafia, the Museum of Las Vegas excludes the bosses of the 'Ndrangheta: "Not very fashionable, they look like shepherds"

No Calabrian bosses in the pantheon of world bosses. "Too 'not very chic', they dress badly and are never seen in films and TV series", say the curators of the Historical Museum of the Mafia in Las Vegas, The Mob Museum founded in 2011, which in the Pantheon of the five most powerful mafia leaders of the world has not entered any Calabrian boss
https://themobmuseum.org/blog/worlds-to ... ob-bosses/.

This was revealed by Klaus Davi who in his book 'The Killer of the N'drangheta' analyzes the reasons for this 'exclusion' and retraces the careers of ten hit men, many of whom also operate in foreign countries such as Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Spain and America. And he tells of the sensational narrative deficit that characterizes the criminal organization that manages international drug trafficking with South American bosses.

What Nicola Gratteri defines as the 'most powerful mafia in the world' is classified as a picturesque branch of the Cosa Nostra in a museum celebrated even by the 'New York Times' for its 'historical purposes' as reported by the website of the 'Museum of the Bosses'.

"The Ukrainian Semion Mogilevich, the head of the Japanese Yzuka Shigerau Shirai, ends up in the Gotha of leaders; Nemesio Oseguara Cervantes known as 'El Mencho' at the head of the Mexican cartels and Matteo Messina Denaro and Matthew Madonna regent of American Cosa Nostra.

“We have not decided to include any Calabrian boss, or Canadians of Calabrian origin, they are not iconographic enough”, the PR of the Museum explain to Klaus Davi.
"There aren't any movies about them or important books we can rely on - the Museum has come to tweet - but that doesn't mean they're not dangerous."

The Ndrangheta, Davi says, is described as an organization "that dominates drug trafficking in Europe and beyond. There is a poor mention of Giuseppe Giorgi known as 'Goat' arrested by the Carabinieri in 2017 and remembered for the aberrant kiss of the hand of one of his admirers, which was filmed on TV all over the world; and for Giuseppe Pelle arrested in Condorfuri. "

No sector of the Museum is destined for the Ndrangheta. Not a single line is spent on the so-called Siderno Group, which has played a leading criminal role in Canada for at least 50 years and is the protagonist of a very violent feud.
Director Geoff Schumacher explains the choice of characters in this way: "Ours is a museum on crime but prefers the logic of entertainment. We are in Las Vegas. For this we have given a lot of space to the Italian-American mafia (Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, John Gotti), to the Jewish one that was closely linked to the Italians (Bug Siegel, Mickey Cohen, Arnold Rothstein).

“The Ndrangheta - he reiterates - is a mafia that cannot be seen and is not told. Every now and then we relaunch something on twitter but they are news stories. Not useful for a suggestive story. We do marketing and as you can see by walking through our museum there are also models of the bosses' clothes, their guns, cigar cases, copies of electric chairs, reconstructions of the salons in which they gambled, the most famous brothels . " Leaving the museum, you can buy gadgets with the image of the bosses and the 'memories' of the bosses. It would therefore be difficult to exhibit bagpipes, tambourines and accordions from Aspromonte.

You can say the same about camorra and sacra corona unita is even less known.

The American mafia is more glamour. Its hard to explain to an american that a crime group have various ranks that is divide in two socities: Minor and Major etc
Better Al Capone,Gotti etc that the stories of powerful godfathers that lived in the mountains.

Agree with above.

If something isn’t known among the masses, it is not covered.
Years ago, the UFC didn’t even get a sports write up in newspapers......Now that it has grown so much, it’s home is ESPN.
