Well, we all have our own opinions on where it actually was started. I think it started in Sicily after the woman ran through the streets yelling "ma fia ma fia" as loud as she can. After that time frame is basically when the Sicilian people had enough of the French, and were not taking it anymore. There were many Robin hood type of people in Sicily. One of them was Salvatore Giuliano, but he came centuries later. Nobady was insulting you just letting you know that there's books out there regarding this topic.
