A centre-left candidate for the
Campania regional elections next month has mimicked the hit
Camorra TV show 'Gomorra' in his campaign pitch.
Ciro Attanasio, who is standing in the coalition of incumbent
Democratic Party Governor Vincenzo De Luca, is shown in a
black-and-white photo captioned, in Neapolitan dialect, "C'amma
ripiglia' tutto chell' che è o' nuostr" (we have to take back
all that is ours), an iconic line from the show.
Political rivals have slammed Attanasio for glamourising the
Mob.
The Camorra is one of Italy's big three mafias, along with
'Ndrangheta from Calabria and Cosa Nostra from Sicily.
Gomorra is based on the book of the same name by anti-mafia
writer Roberto Saviano whose death threats from mobsters have
earned him a round-the-clock police escort.
