Damn man I can't keep up with all your videos you do great work thank you

People who romanticize the Mafia are fools. As for Morley Safer, he was my all time favorite 60 Minutes interviewer.

[@nicklubrino2606]

Because of movies like “The Godfather” and TV shows like “The Sopranos” that romantizes the mafia, these people get treated like celebrities.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

@@nicklubrino2606 And “Good Fellas.” But Godfather Part Two was a particularly fine movie.

As others said it's bc of Hollywood. Also, in America we've always liked rebels. From cowboys to bikers to obviously the mob. People who do what they want is an attractive lifestyle but they don't realize what they really do

[@matusalakiflom5165]

Americans are very violent people, they have been stealing to get rich just like the mafia, except they stole it from the natives. It is the same kill and eat mentality.

Leoluca Orlando is not only still alive and kicking, he's now been the mayor of Palermo since 2012!

I was just going to look it up!

Even in Italy the power of the mafia has shrunk considerably... if this guy is still alive, you know it's true

Good stuff.

[@yardogyuh2049]

Not really, they just don't blatantly kill politicians or police anymore. They don't really kill anyone anymore. They know that if they kill people blatantly it brings too much attention and police. But if you look into the laws they dismantled the witness protection program. They run most of the construction contracts. They launder there money like masters and control so much of the society still. Ask a sicilian about the mafia and they will tell you they dont exist anymore. This is proof enough that they very much still alive.

You’re killing it MobFax

[@nightrider12soul]

Just wander how the Mafia knew the road and the time when MR Falcone will travel.

[@MookBaylock]

These people are evil man. I am beginning to be more and more repulsed by them as I get older. I used to be enamored, but I think that is because I was young and dumb and it was mainly a product of the cinematic romanticism of the life….

[@babber225]

America mafia and Italy mafia is two different worlds

[@fercos33]

you are right. The movie Gomorra was good becaus it was the only film that laid bare the truly evil and unglamorous reality of it all.

[@kevinogracia1615]

A must read > The Mafia: A Cultural History by Roberto M. Dainatto. It explains the Cosa Nostra from the beginning (1880 Palermo/oranges.) And, of course, The Valachi Papers scribed by Peter Maas. Peace on earth.

[@juzi68]

Good stuff. Too bad the "protagonist" of the 60 minutes story Claudio Martelli, turned out to be corrupt as well.

[@michaelbatarick9617]

Leggio was the high end, he took it all , toto was his underboss , and also, never knew that there was actually a real city or real corleonesi clan till i read the octopus, i always thought that Mario made that name up. Very interesting

[@LegBreakMMA]

I heard Antonio Collela of Hamilton Ontario was a rank guy should research him or look into it

[@victorioguedea2311]

Government nostra

[@killerfrank8974]

Very interesting to see how the Italian government finally started to crack down on the mafia. That said, though, the mafia still lives on, still very much entrenched.

[@bobbywomack8262]

Yes sir good points. Its in the blood of those families. Theres to much cash in it. Or cocaine. Dope money is the rage in Italy crime underground.
