In 2007, in Palermo Italian Police arrested the Lo Piccolo Family, the new Boss of Palermo's Mafia. Many boss starts 'to speak' with the Police and to confess. In few time, the most part of Palermo's mafia is end... But.. But the culture is very hard to change, and in few times others new criminals takes the place of old boss. Why? Just to 20 years ago the Italian State starts with judge, Mr. Falcone the war against the mafia, but the mafia has very old origins... Noone can saids the truth origins of mafia. Mafia is a 'code of honor', that comes from the past, for example We can saids from the old 'knight codes' of middle-ages, that tooks by Templares and Freemasons; these laws takes by criminals to makes Their bad business. The most important law is the 'loyality' to 'The Family' (or tribù, or 'gang') and not to deceive Your 'friends' or 'relations'. The Italian crimanals in the History were not very importants. Of course in the middle-ages were bad times for security in all Europe, and Italy as the same; but Mafia, Camorra and 'ndrangheta were very little communities of criminals, that only in Sicily were helps from 'Gattopardi' ( a book, and a film - that you can download here with english' subtitles- that explanes in the best way what happens in Sicily in that time) .
These Barons has also another title: Prince; the same title and the same grade of The King of The Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
That thing is very important to understand the deep reasons of particular society in Sicily were Mafia borns and develps.
These big important persons cannot could processed and in the Sicily's countries the 'laws of honors' were more importants of laws of the Kingdom. In effect 'Cosa Nostra' was a kinds of police of that 'second state', these men were the personal police of 'Gattopardi'..
When in 1861 the ITALY is unificated, and starts others problems. A sort of Civil War starts in the South of Italy, called 'brigantaggio' : the new King, the King of Savoy and - now - King of Italy takes with him the 'italian laws': new tax, obbligatory military service and takes the industries of south. The economic crisis is very hard: a big part of population makes riots and called 'brigants'. Will be 4-5 and in some parts also 10 years of massacres, never saids in the 'official versions' that speaks only of 'brigants'.
In these particulars contest criminal organizations becomes very big, many brigants becomes very criminals, and the organization of crime, in some case, as in Calabria was supported by population for many years, that sub-culture lives just to now and is the natural alimentary of 'criminal mentality' in some ( little) part of my Country.
I remember very well when my professor saids to us that 'brigants as a kind of criminals': he didn't knows all the trouth: the new Italy Kingdom made a big genocide; but in the same years the same things happens in the U.S. for Indians, in Australia for Indigenous Australians and in Turkey for Armenians, the first War War and, after, the big pestilence in Europe helps to forget all that bad things, but We want to remember it: the 40% of population of South of Italy must to emigrate, with a big part of Veneto and Friuli's population, others two regions incorporated by 'Kingdom of Italy', (as You can see in the map in the top of the article) but before of unification of 1861 were under the Austrian Kingdom.
Italians goes to new continents: Australia, Usa and South America were funding many Italian Communities now becomes very big and importants and were keep with Them the Italian Culture and the Italian Traditions
The Neapolitan language and culture was soppressed as the others kinds of regional identities.
Only after the 1946, when my Country becomes the Repubblic of Italy, We have, finally, another times Our Regions, with our Cultures and Our traditions that all the world ammires, and You cannot understand the Italian Culture if You don't knows the Italian Regional Cultures.
