(ANSA) - Rome, August 21 - The nephew of late Rome mob boss
Vittorio Casamonica said Friday that "in our parlance, our
culture he (was) a king, our king of Rome," explaining posters
at his funeral Thursday. "They say he was a boss. My uncle was
very well-known because he bought and sold cars," said Luciano
Casamonica, whose clan are popularly known as 'the gypsies'. The
lavish, Godfather-style funeral has spurred calls for Rome Mayor
Ignazio Marino and Interior Minister Angelino Alfano to resign.
