| 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.

| 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.  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.

| 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. |
