Rose petals were scattered from helicopters on the mourning people during the whole road.
The 65 years old Mafia Don Vittorio Casamonica's funeral was little different from the episodes of "The Godfather" movie. Rose petals were scattered from helicopters on the mourning people during the whole road.
Six black horses took the gothic carriage to a catholic church in one of the suburbs of Rome, where a mourning liturgy was served. The out of order luxurious funeral angered the citizens of Rome. But the relatives of the Mafia Don justified themselves telling that the luxury comes from their gypsy traditions.
Casamonica's clan is a gypsy organization, which controls the south-eastern region of Rome and a seashore part. The group is involved in many cases of racketeering, money extortion and corruption.
