Not exacly, sir. I have lived in a town where we have seen mafia only on tv, just like you did. But newspapers and tv remembered us that the southern town were I used to live was an oasis in a rotten area (southern Italy). Mafia most likely does not have reason and incentives to expand in the northern side. There is indeed suspicion about a southern Italian when we move to the north. And I do understand them( better safe than sorry;).
Mafia has three names, just like crap has several synonims: Mafia in Sicily,Camorra in Campania, N'drangheta in Calabria, and Sacra(whatever...) Corona Unita in Puglia.Many shops of Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Puglia have to pay a "tax" to the gangs (although, I believe it only happens in the large cities). Mafia does exist and harm anyone it touches.For example, mafia 's associates always get to win local public constructions bids(of Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Puglia). It is a disease to the free market, and to the prosperity of the south.Some southern Italians(the most ignorant ones) blame the government of the unemployment and the crime we have; but the real ones to blame are those losers with a gun.
I am from southern Italy and I know how it feels when one ASSOCIATES Italy to mafia.By the way, most of the mafia is though to be in southern Italy.At least , that's what I have understood from the news. And , actually, south of Italy is where mafia homicides occur(I approve when they kill each other, that'd be fine:). I take the previous post as a stimulus. As long as people talk this bad of Italy, I believe, there will be a stimulus to do better.
