    Wow I’m 1/4 Neapolitan and had similar story with Camora. ngrangeta are extremely powerful. And ruthless. Cosa Nostra in Sicily Its all the highest level of organised crime. It’s international. I’m from Newcastle but slip into Italian like she does.
    American Cosa Nostra just became more Americanised, partying, flashyness which is what bright them down.
    I remember her being in the news when she was waiting to be sentenced. Obviously she looked more plain and very sad. That was years ago, probably had some work done 😉 and dresses really well now. Very beautiful.
