Petronà, from the clash between the Carpino and Bubbo clans to the Isola summit for peace: the new repentant and the feud in the woods, cracks in the mystery. Colosimo escaped an ambush. Maybe he knows a lot about the long blood trail
PETRONÀ – A bloody feud bloodied the woods of Presila until the Arena gang of Isola Capo Rizzuto ordered a mafia break between two families who had been at war for twenty years. Among the series of ambushes there is also the one which escaped the new repentant of the mountain gangs, Domenico Colosimo known as "'Ndrina" , who has been speaking for months with the investigators of the Catanzaro DDA, after his arrest last September. in the Karpanthos operation on the accusation of being a top exponent of the Carpino gang, opposed to that of the Bubbos. Perhaps he knows a lot about that war in which he allegedly took part, if the justice collaborator Danilo Monti defines him as a "shareholder".
In the Catanzaro mountains today the Crotone 'Ndrangheta dictates law, filling the void left by the Marcedusa boss Franco Coco Trovato, who, having moved to Lecco, projected the interests of his criminal organization to the North until becoming one of the leaders of the "consortium ” Lombard mafioso. That today is the area of ??influence of the Ferrazzo gang of Mesoraca. Seven out of 52 of those arrested in the Karpanthos operation are Mesorachians. Once upon a time, however, the last word had to be said by the Arena family of Isola Capo Rizzuto, who in 2006 had the strength to impose the diktat for pax. And at a table they had to shake the hands of those who had killed and those who had suffered the loss of close relatives. An end to the revenge, nipped in the bud what Colosimo perhaps had in mind to undertake, to respect the commitment made at the top in the locality of S. Anna di Isola in which he himself took part.
THE MYSTERY OF THE WOODS FEUD, THE STAGES OF THE MASSACRE
Let's retrace the years of lead, those on which the repentant could shed light. The series of bloody events pits the gangs historically operating in Petronà, the Carpino, known as "Tratraculo", and the Bubbo, known as "Bubbi". The Cervesi group, their branch in Cerva, is closely linked to the Carpino gang, where the municipality was subjected to anti-mafia raids following the arrest of the mayor Fabrizio Rizzuti in the Karpanthos operation. Blood began to be shed in Petronà on 18 August 1992. The first to fall is Gaetano Elia. His traveling companion, Giuseppe Colosimo, was also injured, while Alberto Carpino remained unharmed.
A year later, on 19 August, in Botricello, Santo Bubbo was killed and his brother-in-law Antonio Puccio was seriously injured. Murder and attempted murder committed, according to the sentences, by Alberto Carpino, Saverio Gentile and Luigi Scalese on behalf of Rodolfo Pane, the Belcastro boss and their ally. But the only one to be taken to prison when the sentence becomes final is Scalese, because Carpino and Gentile in the meantime are murdered in turn. Carpino, on February 4, 2000, was murdered by three men with their faces covered in the bar in the central square of the town.
Meanwhile, others fall into the clash between opposing factions. The dramatic count continues with a case of white lupara because on 1 October 1993, in Morbegno, in the province of Sondrio, the disappearance of Giuseppe Colosimo was reported. On the following 23 October in Lecco a commando attempted to kill Vittorio Talarico, uncle of Gaetano Elia and Giuseppe Colosimo. Only three days later, on 26 October, Saverio Gentile was the victim of an ambush and at the same time Ettore Talarico was injured.
THE FIVE YEARS OF TRUCE FROM 1995 TO 2000
In '95 the truce took over, abruptly broken on 4 February 2000 with the excellent murder of Alberto Carpino, killed by three men with covered faces who went into action in the central Macondo bar. The investigations do not allow the killers to be identified but they document the Carpinos' revenge plan. From an information from the Carabinieri it emerges that Filippo and Raffaele Bubbo, leading elements of the clan of the same name, end up in the crosshairs. The conflict worsened on 25 October 2001 when Luigi Antonio Turello, close to the Carpinos, was murdered.
The response of fire was on 2 July 2003, the victim being Eugenio Gentile, affiliated with the Bubbos. Giuseppe Rocca, a member of the Carpino, was injured in the circumstance. On 8 July 2003 the clash moved to nearby Cerva where Giuseppe Iervasi, a Carpino man, was murdered. On 13 October 2003, Angelo Sculco fell in Andali, near the Carpino family. On May 12, 2004, in Petronà while he was returning home, unknown persons attempted to kill Domenico Colosimo. On 13 September 2005, in Andali, near his home, Luigi Barberio was killed, close to Angelo Sculco's group. The last one died on 10 April 2006, in Terranova Bracciolini, in the Arezzo area, where the brothers Angelo and Ettore Talarico were murdered.
A string of murders committed over almost twenty years.
THE MYSTERY OF THE WOODS FEUD, THE PEACE SUMMIT
The summit that seals the peace is held on Isola Capo Rizzuto, in the locality of S. Anna. Exponents of the Carpino and Bubbo gangs take part, but also Tommaso Scalzi, trusted man of the boss Franco Coco Trovato. For Arena there is Paolo Lentini, known as “Pistola”. Despite his nickname, it is he who establishes the cessation of weapons. The Arenas decide to involve Coco Trovato who, once he moved to Lecco, as told by the repentant Giuseppe Liperoti, former cashier of the Grande Aracri di Cutro gang, had lost interest in Calabria. Petrona and Sersale, first, were «'ndrina di Marcedusa», then «the “local” moves to Mesoraca and recognizes Mario Donato Ferrazzo as leader», says Liperoti.
In short, today the Mesorachesi dominate in Presila. Who knows if the new justice collaborator will also talk about current criminal dynamics.
