His job apparently was to go around and buy chocolates or flowers and launder.
Seems like good work if you can get it.
This is from 12 years ago and has a lot of speculation/worries for what will happen next, anyone know a good update on what did happen? Edit: Looks like Cosimo Di Lauro died in prison in 2022.
Nothing. Modernity has taken its toll even on organised crime in southern Italy, while most journalists and wannabe writers specialised in narrating overexagerated chronicles of the Mafia still try to stay relevant narrating the chronicles of a giant omniscient octopus that it never was. Di Lauro died in prison. Most of his men died or got life in prison. Even more turned snitches because, again, there's no such thin…
> Parts of the series are loosely inspired by the Scampia feud (the series was shot in the Vele di Scampia) and its main actors: Gennaro Savastano is modeled on Cosimo Di Lauro, while his father Pietro Savastano is based on the life of Paolo Di Lauro.

As someone born and raised in the scenarios this goofy author is trying to describe, I can only say that I find this kind of romanced narrations of criminal activities laughable at best. All I read about are stereotypes and very debatable commentaries of facts they're not even fully informed on.

Between when this article was written and today, around 2018, there was a huge war in my Neighbor because some guys who commanded it in the past got out of jail, and wanted the neighbor back, but then police arrested a bunch of people and the situation is now calm, until a bunch of people will finish their jail term, and try to catch power back, it's a cycle with 10-15 years times

This or that leader or organization might have their rise and fall, but organized crime is stronger than ever, and spreading into ever more "legit" facades too.

As someone who was born and raised in Naples, I can see where the author is coming from, probably he met some guy from Naples, and after reading some news he asked about life in Naples, and the guy just depicted it exagerating, if I can say something about my fellow neapolitans, is that they're very showmen when it comes to describe simple things
This is stuff that happens all over the world, it's just - as you correctly pointed out - that Naples, often because of the way Neapolitans themselves narrate it, is depicted as the one of the wildest cities in Europe, if not the entire World. The reality is simply that it's not that bad, and it's probably more chaotic, but yet safer than, say, Milan. Yes there are still gangs trying to fight for neighbourhoods, but they're becoming a parody of themselves, and, while this makes them somehow more dangerous from time to time, I still feel way safer in Napoli's Forcella than right in front of the Duomo in Milan.
