The 'Ndrangheta is also famous in London

On August 15, 2007 six young men of Calabrian origins undergo an ambush and were killed in Duisburg, Germany, in what remains the worst bloodshed due to the Italian organized crime outside the national borders (excluding the U.S.). Only from that tragic episode, the 'Ndrangheta has got the limelight of the international press, while remaining a criminal phenomenon underestimated even in Italy, the name unpronounceable for foreigners.

To try to explain the phenomenon of the 'Ndrangheta to the public the Anglo-Saxon and not limited to, UCL - University College of London is organizing a seminar entitled "The origins of the' Ndrangheta of Calabria: Italy's Most Powerful Mafia," which will be held at the Darwin Lecture Theatre of the same university tomorrow, March 1 at 13.15.

He will speak about John Dickie, Professor, Department of Italian Studies at UCL and author of Cosa Nostra. A history of the Sicilian Mafia (Cosa Nostra. History of the Sicilian Mafia), and Blood Brotherhoods: The Rise of the Italian Mafias (brother of blood: the birth of the Italian mafia).
