| You wouldn't catch me dead there. I don't think most people have a realistic idea of how prevalent and pervasive the mafias are in these regions. |

| I seriously doubt Italian organized crime is against bringing money onto the island. I dreamed last night I was in Italy visiting friends, one of whom grew up in Naples. It was quite a detailed dream and ended with me considering buying a house. Sometimes you don't know what triggers your dreams, but I think I can pin this one on this thread. -------------------------------- "A mob is a place where people go to get away from their conscience" Atticus Finch

| Heck, I didn't have to go to Sicily. I grew up with mafiosi. Town was run by them. Look up Melrose Park and the name Serpico. ![Big Grin](http://well-temperedforum.groupee.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) Haven't been able to get away from them even though I haven't lived in MP since high school. I ended up working for a Serpico at the Merc. Bought a car from a Serpico. And our vet is also a Serpico. And yes, they're all related. -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| I'm not convinced living there would be a 'normal' assimilation into a society and culture in terms of what outsiders would consider expectable.
Everyone loves tourists who bring money. Ask me how I know. |
