thing la cosa
Remember the name of the Sicilian Mafia: ‘Cosa Nostra’, it means: ‘Our Thing’.
Think about your most costly thing.
“ .. and God created Eve from one thing, one costa (rib) of Adam’s body.”
Imagine loosing your things in the sand of the beach at the coast (‘la costa’).
These things aren’t mine! ¡Estas cosas no son mías!

Az egyik jelenetben arról kérdezik Piedonét, hogy olasz-e, mire Piedone azt feleli: Nem, nápolyi vagyok. Bud Spencer a valóságban is nápolyinak tekinti magát és anyanyelvének a nápolyi nyelvet tartja, amelyről sokan azt gondolják, csak az olasz nyelv dialektusa. (Piedone Afrikában)
Naples' "ruined" appearance can be attributed to a combination of historical, social, economic, and political factors:
1. Historical Legacy
Naples has a long history of neglect and exploitation, dating back to its role as a regional capital under various rulers who often drained its resources.
Frequent natural disasters, such as earthquakes and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, have repeatedly devastated the city.
2. Urban Density
The city is densely populated, with narrow streets and aging buildings that are challenging to maintain.
Overcrowding exacerbates wear and tear on infrastructure.
3. Economic Challenges
Persistent poverty and high unemployment have left many areas underfunded and poorly maintained.
Economic disparities between Northern and Southern Italy have historically resulted in fewer investments in Naples.
4. Corruption and Mismanagement
Naples has struggled with organized crime, particularly the Camorra, which siphons resources and undermines legitimate governance.
Corruption in public administration has led to poor urban planning and inadequate public services.
5. Environmental Neglect
Waste management has been a recurring crisis due to inefficiencies and criminal interference. Piles of uncollected garbage have tarnished the city's image.
6. Cultural Preservation vs. Modernization
Naples' historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which complicates modernization. Preservation efforts often clash with the need for urban renewal.
Despite its challenges, Naples is also celebrated for its resilience, vibrant culture, and rich history. Its "ruined" charm often adds to its authenticity and appeal, captivating visitors with its raw, unpolished beauty.

Italian organized crime groups receipts have been estimated to reach 7–9% of Italy's GDP. A 2009 report identified 610 comuni which have a strong Mafia presence, where 13 million Italians live and 14.6% of the Italian GDP is produced. However, despite the ubiquity of organized crime in much of the country, Italy has only the 47th highest murder rate, at 0.013 per 1,000 people, compared to 61 countries, and the 43rd highest number of rapes per 1,000 people, compared to 64 countries in the world, all relatively low figures among developed countries.

Before we started shooting, I got together with Little Al Lettieri, who was going to play Sollozzo. He just said to me, “You should meet this guy. It’s good for what you’re doing.” I sort of knew what he meant by that, so I went along with him. One day we took a drive to a suburb just outside the city.
Little Al brought me to a traditional, beautiful, well-kept home. He took me inside and introduced me to the head of the household, a guy who looked like a normal businessman. I shook his hand and said hello, and he was very welcoming. He had a loving family. He had a wife who served us drinks and light snacks on fine porcelain. He had two young sons around my age. I was just some crazy actor who had come into his house, trying to absorb as much as I could. Our conversation remained polite and at the surface level. I never asked Little Al why he had brought me here, but I thought about what he had said before we came, how this visit would be helpful for what I was working on. Little Al knew some guys. Some real guys. And now he was introducing me to one of them.
I was being given a taste of how this thing looked and operated in reality, not how it was shown in the movies. Not that our host was going to get into any of those details with us. As a matter of fact, we ended up drinking and playing games. Many moons later, photos from that night surfaced, showing me in a sweatshirt, laughing away with a drink in my hand, while Little Al showed me a gun. A boys’ night out.
I was a kid from the South Bronx. I am an Italian. I am a Sicilian too. I knew what it was to always be assumed that you had at least a connection to organised crime. Any name that ended with a vowel was scrutinised for having possible connections to that world. Instead of being compared to Joe DiMaggio, you were associated with Al Capone.
Most of us will never experience crime, let alone perpetrate it. And yet we’re fascinated with these people who are determined not to live within the rules of society, who are finding another way to go. The outlaw is a particularly American kind of character. We grew up pretending to be Jesse James and Billy the Kid. These were folk heroes. They became part of our lore. The history of the mafia is part of that lore too.

Being corrupt in Rhode Island is too easy. It is like playing tennis with the net down. This works against our criminals; they are not in shape. Here, knife doesn’t sharpen knife, only makes a show of it. The result is a poorly rehearsed parody of corruption, which we allow to pass for reality.
