But why would Italian criminals be any different than American criminals regarding having mistresses? Inzerillo had one; I'm sure there must be others.
It's unacceptable is all. I don't say it's never done. But it's very very rare, frowned upon and not advertised like over here.
Maybe it's cultural, I don't know, but guys there do what they have to do and go home to their families. They don't go hang out at strip clubs or bars, they go home to their wives. I have never even seen a strip club over there, and men don't go to bars to sit and drink like here, either. They drink at home. I'm sure there are some that have mistresses, but they're infidels and they would be if they were mafioso or not.
