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,” petals launched from a helicopter so the family chose to celebrate the funeral of Victor Casamonica, 65, a leader of the eponymous clan specializes in racketeering and wear in the south-eastern outskirts of Rome. The funeral took place on Thursday in the Church of Don Bosco in Rome Tuscolano. Outside the church 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 clan leader dressed in white with a crucifix. On another poster it was written: “You have conquered Rome now conquer the Paradise.” When the coffin passed through the streets of Tuscolano, from a helicopter they were launched thousands of red petals. Following 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.
Alfano requested report to the prefect
outrage from across the political spectrum. Interior Minister Angelino Alfano has asked for a report thereon to the Prefect Franco Gabrielli. 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 permissions.

The funeral of boss Casamonica in Rome: coaches, band and Rolls Royce The “Godfather”: video | “Paradise”: video breaks out political controversy
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. ” So said Gabrielli. It also intervened Rosy Bindi, chairman of the Anti-Mafia: “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. It will be necessary to determine 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 with a note, it states that ‘no news as to the holding of the funeral had been communicated. The deceased, who died in the early hours of August 19, 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. “ In 2012, however, the then superintendent Fulvio Della Rocca forbade the solemn funeral of a twenty year old who died in a car accident, Antonio Moccia: not because the guy was a gangster, but because it would be necessary to close several roads to push through the crowded parade funeral, which even then would follow the coffin in a carriage led by horses. As for the helicopter and rose petals, the police continues, “investigations are underway with ENAC. At present, however, it hired a commercial aircraft of a private company, for the ordinary mode of overflight in an area not affected by security restrictions, does not need permission. “
The parish of Welby
That’s Don Bosco is the same parish in 2006 denied the funeral to Piergiorgio Welby: the co-president Luca Coscioni and terminally ill, was kept alive only thanks to a machine, which wanted to remove refusing aggressive treatment. At the time, his funeral was held on the square in front of the church, because the then vicar general of the diocese of Rome, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, did not give permission.
The Vicariate: “The pastor was not aware of what was happening”
The difference, now explain the Vicariate, is that Welby had repeatedly expressed publicly, the desire to go against the law of the Church by his own hand, while Casamonica, in addition to not have committed suicide, It might have repented at the last minute. “The religious rite – add – was normal, everything was done as agreed with the pastor. What happened outside it was done without authorization, although it was not the pastor to be responsible. ” According to the Vicariate Fr. Giancarlo Manieri “he was not aware of what was happening,” even Car blowups of the boss: “It all happened while celebrating the religious ceremony.” However by the Vicariate transpires “embarrassment” for the “Hollywood scene” of the funeral, however, also could not “be denied.”
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. ” This defense of Don Manieri. “Anyway, this is the year of Mercy as I was going to evict people? – Adds – If someone asks me a funeral for a deceased I celebrate unless you have instructions from above as it did for Welby, when Cardinal Ruini said: “No, I take responsibility,” which in this case there was”. The pastor explains: “I knew it was a family member Casamonica but it was a clan chief. I had also spoken of as a practicing Catholic. “
Don Ciotti” Instrumentalisation to strengthen power “
” The scenes seen outside the church can not remain indifferent, “says the national president Libera, Don Luigi Ciotti. “It is not question the right of a family to celebrate the funeral of one of its members. 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 Marco Cause: “What happened is the clearest proof that the mafia exists in the capital.”
“No apology of crime”
Sel announced that it will submit a parliamentary question to the Minister of the Interior and Members Arturo Scotto and Celeste Costantino they asked the Church a distancing. “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. These funerals are a clear message of impunity by clan: we still exist and we are powerful. Unacceptable in a democratic state, “commented the two parliamentarians. “I ask 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 held in a church,” intervenes the co-spokesperson of the Greens Angelo Bonelli. Finally, Mina Welby: 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.”
