Certain mafia crimes are utterly detestable. Here, we see the Mancuso clan of Vibo Valentia, which is roughly where my family is from, depriving the area of its cultural heritage, plundering and then selling-off antiquities to international dealers.

The other great unforgivable mafia crime is environmental degradation, toxic dumping, etcetera.

Although I have certain "fan boy" inclinations, I absolutely condemn crimes of this nature, crimes that destroy the history and land of southern Italy . . . .
