Editor’s Note: In Italy, the public authorities have complete control on what happens in public, from posters being carried by pedestrians to funerals. This was on display in Rome today, when the public authority refused permission to have a funeral procession for Guerrino Casamonica, the Mob Boss who recently passed away at the age of 59.
