  • ROME, ITALY - 26 FEBRUARY 2020: Piera Aiello (52), member of the lower house of the Italian parliament and police informant known for her stand against the Mafia, poses for a portrait in an office in Rome, Italy, on February 26th 2020.<br />
<br />
Born in a small town in Sicily, she was forced to marry the son of a local Mafia boss at the age of 18, and soon watched her husband be killed in front of her eyes. She then became a key figure in the fight against the Mafia, spending nearly three decades in hiding under a witness protection program, and helping the police track down dozens of mafiosi. In 2018, without ever having shown her face on television or in the media for fear of mafia retribution, she was elected to parliament.<br />
<br />
In 2019 she was named as one of the BBC's 100 Women.

<br />
In 2017 the 17-year-old innocent victim Genny Cesarano was shot and killed by stray bullet  in cross fire between 2 rival gangs vying for territorial control in the Sanità neighborhood.<br />
The  isolation of the neighborhood Sanità over the years provided an ideal location for the Camorra to expand their illicit activities and profit from soaring unemployment rates and economic instability,<br />
<br />
After the first death threats of 2006 by the Casalese clan , a cartel of the Camorra, which he denounced in his exposé and in the piazza of Casal di Principe during a demonstration in defense of legality, Roberto Saviano was put under a strict security protocol. Since 2006 Roberto Saviano has lived under police protection.<br />
<br />
Saviano's latest novel "The Piranhas", which tells the story of the rise of  a paranza (or Children's gang) and it leader Nicolas, will be released in the United States on September 4th 2018.
