Italian mobs go as far back as the middle ages,
if you mean osso, mastrosso and carcagnosso history is just a legend, the first official documents appeared in 1830s
Are not just myths, m2w. I didn't mean these in particular as these are indeed stories. But feudal Italy has always been ran by thugs. You could argue that all of feudal europes noble class and knighthood were just thugs extorting the serfs. But in Italy it stuck. That's why the story is the rejected knights of sicily who settled in Calabria.
yes, but there is not any proof sicilian mafia, camorra or ndrangheta were active at that time, there were criminals but not that type of organizations with rituals, ranks etc.
