The funeral of the Mafia boss Tommaso Spadaro, who died a month ago in Perugia at the age of 82 while he was serving house arrest , had been held in the church of the Palermo cemetery of Sant'Orsola. Yesterday, however, in the church of Santa Teresa alla Kalsa, in the heart of the Sicilian capital, a solemn function was held officiated by Father Mario Frittitta, arrested in the Nineties and then acquitted for having said mass in the den of the fugitive Pietro Aglieri.
