  La Camorra: The Notorious...

   The history of Naples is long and tortured, or at least for centuries that was how its history has been told. Inhabited almost continuously from the Neolithic era to the present, Naples was founded by the Greeks and conquered by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Naples passed between various foreign rulers for its entire history prior to Italian unification. Starting in 1040, when the Norman French invaders conquered Campania, Naples was ruled in a dizzying succession by Germans, then French, then Spanish, then Austrians, then Spanish, then French, and then Spanish. 
  	Nonetheless, Naples does not enjoy an excellent reputation, within the context of Italy or of Europe. High rates of petty crime, a decaying urban fabric and the infamous presence of the mafia (known in Naples as the Camorra) all combine to ensure fewer tourists venture to explore Naples, and many Italians (civilians and politicians alike) consider it the ultimate “problem city.” Nonetheless, it bears keeping in mind the words of one of Naples’ foremost historians, John Marino, who noted, “Naples, like each of Italy’s cities, [is] unique, but far less different than is generally believed.” The Neapolitan mafia is famous for its pervasive nature, which is due to the fact that it is organized in a horizontal, decentralized way. This means there is not one single “boss” who dictates policy and can be more strategic in how and when violence is deployed. Unlike other mafias, in the Camorra there has been no long-term reigning family, nor extensive coordination between families to form an alliance and function as a unified mafia for their shared benefit. 
  La Camorra: The Notorious History and Legacy of the Neapolitan Mafia examines how one of the world’s most famous mobs formed, its inner workings, and the events that made it feared around Italy.

  Cop shows have been a staple of the media almost from the beginning. These fictional accounts created the easy to understand the formula of ‘’ diabolical crime plus brilliant detective equals the sometimes not-so-obvious solution’’. 
   
  But in the early years of the 1950s something radically different came along. 
   
  21st precinct was a very dramatic police drama and based on the workings of a true life Police Department, described in the program as ‘’just lines on a map of the city of New York, most of the 173,000 people wedged into the nine-tenths of a square mile between 5th Ave and the East River wouldn't know if you ask them they lived or worked in the 21st. Whether they know it or not, the security of their persons, their homes, and their property is the job of the men of the 21st.’’ 
   
  From the opening phone call the listener is right in the middle of the drama. Privy to the actual workings from start to conclusion. 
   
  The 21st’s manpower was made up of 160 patrolmen, eleven sergeants, and four lieutenants, under the command of one captain - Frank Kennelly, played by Everett Sloane, who was also the show’s narrator.  
   
  He’s about to take that call….

    Born in Lithuania in 1885 under the rule of Russian Tsars, Nettie was ever aware of the injustice levied on her Jewish people. Rules limited their freedom, reducing their status to that of second-class citizens. Additionally; Nettie challenged her own religion's system of excluding girls from Talmud instruction, which the male-dominated Jewish society deemed to be the exclusive right of men. 
    Nettie fled to America with Russian Cossacks hot on her trail for a murder that occurred during a pogrom while she was defending her husband. In America, she found opportunity, but not without its perils. She took advantage of America's freedoms and became educated, continuing to navigate the male-dominated society with her resolve to live the American Dream, Nettie's natural sexuality and intelligence attracted five husbands and produced six children, who in turn contributed twelve grandchildren. This was her legacy to America. Her life's story unfolded as her adopted country fought two wars, adjusted to an immigrant crisis, and saw the start of the union movement, the Ku Klux Klan, and segregation. 
     Tragically; Nettie--a twice-widowed young wife and mother--lost her life at age 37 at the hands of the son of a man whose romantic interests she had rejected years before in the old country. Envious of her new found wealth, her spurned suitor was determined to claim it as his own. He sent his son,13 years younger than Nettie, to court her, then marry her. Evil occult forces seemed to follow Nettie's every move after her third marriage, only ending with her death after the fifth. The sensational trial of her last husband for her violent murder was followed in newspapers across the country. 
     Her life in America played out against a backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition, bootleg liquor, ragtime music and speakeasies. Nettie became in her mind, and in reality; a true American. She did her best to raise her children and instill in them her passion for justice and freedom. Her strength and determination live on in three generations of successful Americans, her legacy.
