It has often been said that the Camorra did not take part in the massacre season, those organized by the mafia and completed in 1992-1993. Objectives of Cosa Nostra were considered pieces of the State, as were the judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.
Yet, despite the Camorra (for several reasons) was excluded from participation even in the early stages of the negotiation between State and Mafia, were several meetings that, according to some collaborators of justice, took place in prison.
Meetings in which the Campania criminal organizations participated. Among the others, Pasquale Galasso, who in 1992, before his repentance, was transferred from the Salerno prison to the one in Spoleto.
Here concentrated the top of the Campania and Sicilian underworld. Guys like Michele D'Alessandro, Valentino Gionta, but also Pippo Calò.

One of Italy's most dangerous fugitives nabbed in Naples
Camorra clan chief Antonio Orlando, 60

(ANSA) - Naples, November 27 - One of Italy's most wanted fugitives from justice was arrested on the outskirts of Naples on Tuesday.

Camorra clan chief Antonio Orlando, 60, had been on the run for 15 years.

He was wanted for mafia association.

Police said they found 'pizzini' command orders and a sauna in his hideout.

He was the reputed boss of the confederation of Orlando-Polverino-Nuvoletta clans

There was a deafening, surreal silence in Marano after the arrest of the last great boss Antonio Orlando , for all Mazzolino, regent of the homonymous clan. While the local and national press was committed to spreading all the details of that clamorous arrest, to which the Dda Neapolitan and the Carabinieri of the Provincial Nucleo have worked for years, the rest of the city was silent.

Not a word from the new mayor Rodolfo Visconti and his administration, no applause to the weapon by the mayoral candidates who until a month ago declared for the law now and always, silence also from that more extreme left that he made the fight against the Camorra one of its flags. The only ones to underline the importance of yesterday's operation, which inflicted a very hard blow - yet another - to the Orlando clan, were the 5-star Andrea Caso, and the mayor of Quarto.

The same politicians who two days ago shouted with posts, videos, press releases, their initiatives No to violence against women, today on the violence of the Camorra had nothing to say. Only silence, so subtle and yet so tangible. Almost as if there had been a mourning or a tragedy. Why this silence? Fear, fear, not wanting to expose? No. Behind this silence there is probably only silence. Despite the dozens of arrests, the investigations on crime and politics - which often went hand in hand - the dismantling of entire criminal families, Marano still exceeds the desire, desire, even the hope of a ransom. We prefer silence, not exposing ourselves, turning away from the other side, looking only at our own interests, rather than taking a clear, clear position against the Camorra.

And as long as you Marano there will be this blanket of silence and silence, they will also be able to arrest all the Orlando, Polverino and Nuvoletta underworld in this city, but things will never change. And from tomorrow, while the Orlando clan will return to reorganize itself, we will return to talk about the holes in the asphalt, the waste, to pay the extortion, to greet respectfully the Guappo on duty. In silence
