The judge for the preliminary hearing of the court of Naples sentenced 3 members of the Casalesi clan to thirty years in prison.

This is the murder dating back to 1997. Giuseppe Setola , head of the Casalesi massacre wing, Aniello Bidognetti , son of the Casalesi chieftain Francesco Bidognetti known as "Cicciotto e Mezzanotte", and the clan exponent Giuseppe Dell'Aversano sentenced to 30 years.

The judge then inflicted 12 years on Cicciotto's other son, Raffaele Bidognetti. The collaborator of justice has allowed with his declarations, to the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Naples, to reconstruct the crime.

The murder is that of the painter Domenico Zippo , killed in Casal di Principe as part of the feud between the Schiavone and Bidognetti families. Zippo was walking in the very central Corso Umberto, when he was approached by the killers and killed with three gunshots in the chest.

Setola (defended by Paolo Di Furia) is in prison with numerous life sentences also for the 18 people killed in Caserta during the season of terror in 2008. The killer admitted that he was the material perpetrator of the crime, as was Giuseppe Dell ' Aversano, while the principals were Raffaele Bidognetti and his brother Aniello.
