SYNOPSIS

The word “mafia” was taken from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu. In the 19th century, this term was used to describe an ambiguous, arrogant, fearless person; but also to refer to someone who is entrepreneurial, proud, courageous, daring, who was recognized for his own merits, qualities or talents, and, above all, for the supremacy of blood.

Meanings aside, it was in mid-1865, in Sicily, that the term “mafia” was first used to describe a criminal association with ramifications in the local government.

There are those who argue that these organizations have medieval origins, that their members were farmers and small landowners who came together to defend their goods from feudal lords; and some argue that the mafia emerged from the union of peasants in order to protect their lands from foreign invasions.

Regardless of the origin, it is certain that “mafia” is used to designate a criminal organization that uses unscrupulous means to defend its assets and, mainly, its people; and those requesting protection are required to pay taxes under pain of harsh reprisals.

Although the word "mafia" is derived from a Sicilian adjective, the term is not exclusive to Sicily. Italy is the country of origin of the various mafia organizations, the best known being the Cosa Nostra, which are the Sicilian buggiardos, the Camorra de Napoli, the Ndrangheta of Calabria, and the bloodthirsty Società Foggiana.

But it was in Vennidit, the birthplace of the most feared families in the mafia, and believe me, no organization was as feared and respected as the "Titolari dei segreti"
Anyone can wield a weapon and impose themselves on the other by force, but only those who know what everyone is trying to hide are able to make their knees voluntarily bend.
Men bow to arms, but governments bow to men's secrets.

My name is my legacy. I'm Ricardo Venni, the heir to the mafia.

VENNI - HEIR TO VENGEANCE

From where we were, it was possible to see Lucco Pinzzano, he seemed confident in his dominance over Giácomo Rizzo, the cunning old man just fed him and let him grow in his arrogance. 


— Tell me your price, I already lost too many things. I am already old and my grandson is the whole family that I have left. I owe it to my son, I will do everything I can to keep him safe. 


— I know you will, the bastard Vitto was right, you are all pathetic, you do not deserve the power you hold in your hands. Power is for those who know what to do with it, a ragged child cannot be more valuable than this whole empire. 


— You would not know how to deal with so much power Lucco, he will consume you even before you touch him, but if it is what you want I give you. He says what the fuck is your price, shitty stronzo. 


— I want control of families in Sicily and I want my business back in Thailand and the United States and I also want you and your fucking family away from me.
