Two sweet pastries in a shop
in the Sicilian tourist mecca of Taormina have been named after
the mafia, local media said Thursday.
The Pasticceria Roberto il Re dei Cannoli is now offering
"mafiosi with pistachio" and "Cosa Nostra with almonds", they
said.
"They are selling like hot cakes", sources said.
"The names of the pastries are not given in order to hail the
mafia," said the owner of the shop, stressing that Taormina was
full of mafia-themed merchandise.
"We don't need to use the mafia to sell our products," he
said.
