The Godmother - Italy

February 2001
Women of the mafia have traditionally been seen as innocent, standing by their men and suffering in silence. But as the mafia godfathers are being jailed, or killed by rivals, it is the godmothers who are taking over.

I hope one day the People of Naples will rise above and bring the Camorra down. Decent people deserve to live their lives in Naples (where ever in Naples) The Camorra are just pure simple criminals.

@LoveShock2 your right but mio famigghia mio mafia is older than 1000 years it dates back to roman civilians in sicily and southern italy killing arabs who tried to invade, hence la Mafia being an arabic word as if to take the piss out of those arabic scum bags, wether anyone agree's or not but La Bella Mafia are Uomini D'onore, the Roman empire still lives

Mafia men should be renamed as "psychopathic parasites" -- it would be a lot more accurate

I was a bit confused watching this film but now I see the date of February 2001 - they did mention the bombing of the prosecutors office which took place in January of that year.

Maria Licciardi was arrested on 14 June 2001 - three months after her 50th birthday.

Has anyone ever considered that these crime syndicates have some ties to the Roman church and especially the shadows behind the shadow government, the Jesuits.
