The term mafia is used referring to secret criminal organizations based on a strict code of honor. Characteristics of the Italian criminal network, which is a subculture built upon the code of silence, can be traced back to the period of lawlessness in the early 1200s and the centuries long history of the phenomenon has left deep roots in the Italian culture. Learn more about organized crime in Italy and the most infamous groups of mafiosi in this book.
