When Don Corleone's daughter got married in the film "The Godfather," the guests kissed his hand and he dispensed favours because no Sicilian Mafia boss could refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day.
But when the real thing took place in Corleone, the Sicilian hill town made famous by the movie, the Mafia's former "boss of bosses" Salvatore 'Toto' Riina could only read about it in newspapers Thursday from inside prison.
Lucia Riina, his 28-year-old daughter, was married on Wednesday and, in the absence of her father, given away by her brother, Giuseppe.
These wise guys weren't called "wise" for nuttin'.....they would probably be able to make an offer to countries to settle their differences, an offer that they can't refuse...
its a fact tho, the Mafia..the Italian Mafia always gave the people what they wanted. The government made it illegal for them to do certain things, like loans, gambling, etc...but what did the government do? They made it LEGAL for only the government to gamble and control high interest loans. Off Track Betting, consumer loans with almost 25% interest, etc, etc....
Their downfall? Drugs..the big bosses told the younger generation of Mafiosos to stay outta the drug trade and they didn't listen.
I mean, when you compete with the Government, they listen!

That was about the time the government raised the anti in cracking (pun intended) down on the guys....
Bring em back, they will make peace in the world with an offer no one can refuse!
