Crowds march against Naples mafia



Those participating in this march must be congratulated as they are local and their faces are known to the thugs, even though they are marching en masse.

The presence of Roberto Saviano, the author of Gomorrah, is also welcome, as his courage in writing his book has put his life on the line. A book that is not of high literary quality but very interesting and well worth reading.
