Milan , August 20, 2015 – 18:24
An old carriage decorated with ornamental friezes and horse-drawn, as the soundtrack music from the film “The Godfather” and petals from a helicopter: all to accompany the coffin of Vittorio Casamonica. This is the content of the funeral of the great man of the clan known Roman funeral Thursday that were held in the Church of Don Bosco in Rome Tuscolano. Outside the church, they were hung with posters: a sign of the inscription “King of Rome” with a photomontage depicting the Coliseum next to the Basilica of St. Peter and the image of the exponent Casamonica dressed in white with a crucifix. On another poster it was written: “You have conquered Rome now conquer the Paradise.” A funeral banner of glitz, which saw, in addition to the passage of the coffin through the streets of the district Tuscolano, also a helicopter from which they were launched thousands of red petals.
The parish of Welby
This is the same parish in 2006 denied the funeral to Piergiorgio Welby, co-president of the association Luca Coscioni and activist in favor of ‘euthanasia, terminal patient kept alive only thanks to a machine that decided to remove refusing aggressive treatment. At the time, his funeral was celebrated in the square in front of the church, because the then vicar general of the diocese of Rome, Cardinal Camillo Ruini gave no authorization.
Bara in Rolls-Royce
At the end of the celebration, the coffin was loaded on a Rolls-Royce while the band played the soundtrack of another famous film “2001 A Space Odyssey.” The funeral procession then accompanied the coffin to the cemetery Verano.
Casamonica Vittorio, 65, was one of the elders eponymous clan specializes in racketeering and wear in the south-east of Rome. His name is also linked to the Magliana Gang of which showed the attendant to recover loans.
Alfano requested report to the prefect
Indignation from across the political spectrum. Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has asked for a report thereon to the prefect of Rome. The mayor Ignazio Marino, on vacation in the US, tweeted: “It is intolerable that the funerals are tools of the living to send mobsters,” adding that he “called the Prefect because the facts are established.” Rituals aimed to demonstrate in public the arrogance of the association to strengthen the climate of intimidation and secrecy that allows you to maintain control of the territory is the comment at the funeral of the boss Alfonso Sabella, Councillor for Legality and former anti-Mafia magistrate. “The Rolls Royce – explains Sabella – the car is usually used for all marriages of boss of Cosa Nostra, the funerals of mafia leaders of the ’60s and’ 70s saw always present harnessed horses of brass that pulled the hearse and also Leoluca Bagarella had chosen as the background music for the video of his wedding music of The Godfather. ” For the helicopter, ensures the commissioner, will occur authorizations. Sel has announced that it will present a parliamentary question to the Minister of the Interior and Members of Sel Arturo Scotto and Celeste Costantino asked a distancing from the Church.

The prefect knew nothing
“Di this affair the prefecture had no cognizance. We will ask account, to try to understand, beyond the clamor, any responsibility. ” This was stated by the prefect of Rome, Franco Gabrielli, commenting on the funeral of Victor Casamonica. Even Rosy Bindi, president of the Anti-Mafia commission intervened. “It is alarming that the funeral of a member of the clan Casamonica, involved in many surveys on crime and Mafia Roman capital, has turned into a show of mafia power. What happened in Rome today is frankly not acceptable, “said Bindi. “It will be necessary -avverte Bindi- whether this happened with or without the due authorization. It cares anyway climate of consensus that has accompanied a similar staging, which should dispel any doubt about the existence of the Mafia in the Capital and redouble their efforts to counter the strength of the institutions and the ability to pollute large sections of society and public administration “.
The police station no one told us the event
And the police station communicates with a note: ” As regards the funeral of Victor Casamonica, a member of the family of the police states that no news as to the holding of the event had been communicated. The deceased, who died in the early hours of August 19 last, after an illness of about a year, is on the edge of criminal circles, as confirmed by recent investigations during which the same has never emerged. The first intervention is to be carried out on site at about 11.00 this morning for reasons of viability. “
” To the helicopter did not need permission, “
Read the note from the police:” The first surgery performed on site – says the police – appears to be at about 11.00 this morning for traffic reasons. As regards the overflight and launch of petals in the area are ongoing investigations with ENAC. At present, however, it hired a commercial aircraft of a private company in the process of finding that, for ordinary mode of overflight in an area not affected by security restrictions, does not need permission. “
The Vicariate: “The pastor was not aware of what was happening”
“The religious ceremony in the church where the funeral of Casamonica was normal, everything was done as agreed with the parish priest; what happened outside it was done without authorization, although it was not the pastor to be responsible “: they have explained sources of the Vicariate. “The pastor was not aware of what was happening,” even Car blowups of the boss, “it all happened while celebrating the religious ceremony,” it is pointed out by the Vicariate which transpires “embarrassment” for the “scenes of Hollywood” funeral that still could not “be denied.” “We do not know if this person has approached, he has repented. You can not judge. Sure – they reaffirm sources Lateran – the Church does not approve of the Hollywood scene. But he had no tools to prevent it. “
Don Manieri: what happens outside I do not compete
“Inside the church it was all very quiet, Catholics seemed a tradition. I spoke of Christian hope. The posters will I glimpsed at the end and shortly after, when the coffin left the square, have them disconnected. I am a pastor, what happens outside is not my responsibility. ” So says Don Giancarlo Manieri, pastor of St. John Bosco, where this morning were the funeral of Victor Casamonica, eponymous boss clan. “Anyway, this is the year of Mercy as I was going to evict people? – He adds – If someone asks me a funeral for a deceased I celebrate unless you have instructions from above as it did for Piergiorgio Welby when Cardinal Ruini said `no, I take RESPONSIBILITY. What that in this case there was no ‘. The pastor explains: “I knew it was a family member Casamonica but not that he was the head of the clan. I had also spoken of as a practicing Catholic. “
Don Ciotti” Instrumentalisation to strengthen power “
” The scenes seen outside the church where – with a pomp and a deployment means, band, helicopter threw rose petals, we imagine authorized – have the funeral of Victor Casamonica, can not leave us indifferent, “said the national president of Libera, Don Luigi Ciotti. “This is not of course question the right of a family to celebrate the funeral of one of its members and the participation of friends and acquaintances. Grave is the obvious manipulation of a religious ritual to strengthen positions of power and prestige. We know that the gangs have never failed to demonstrate a religious facade, “fig leaf” of their criminal enterprises. Once more, and even more so after the excommunication of Pope Francis of Mafiosi and their accomplices, the Church has the denounce and reiterate that there can be compatibility between the mafia violence and the Gospel. “
Orfini Rome scarred
“Never again. Rome can not be scarred by those who would like to become a set of The Godfather. ” He writes on twitter president of the Democratic Party, and commissioner of the Roman party, Orfini Matteo, who then hired a fierce repartee via Twitter with Governor Roberto Maroni. “Yeah, with the Democratic Party to the Rome government’s own Mafia Capital,” tweeted the League: “The Mafia in Rome has ramped up when there was your friend and you governavi German. Have the decency to keep quiet “replication Orfini. “It is intolerable: it is an offense to reach all the citizens of Rome.” This commentary instead of the deputy mayor of Rome, Marco Cause, the lavish funeral of one of the bosses of Casamonica “what happened – he said – is the clearest proof that the mafia exists in the capital.”
“No apology of crime”
” It can not be allowed to anyone advocating crime. We demand took exception to the religious authorities, and we think that the civil authorities should provide some answers about what happened, from the police station. Those funerals may appear a phenomenon of folklore, but in reality they are a clear message of impunity by clan: we still exist and we are powerful. Unacceptable in a democratic state, “commented Scot and Constantine. “A message of strength against the State and the ostentatious wealth of the funeral Vittorio Casamonica. Wonder how it was possible that in the center of Rome a helicopter was able to fly so low and so gorgeous that a funeral was celebrated in the Church “: it declares the coportavoce Greens Angelo Bonelli reminiscent as the same parish were denied funeral Piergiorgio Welby, an activist in favor of euthanasia. Slap the “mayor and also to the church: who knows what do you think the Pope, these funerals should not have been, but now let go mercy” commented Mina Welby’s wife.
