The Casamonica clan is a criminal organization present in Rome and operating in the area of the Castelli Romani and the Lazio coast.^[1][2]

Origins[]

The Casamonica clan originates from the Casamonica and Di Silvio families, families of sedentary Sintis originating from Abruzzo and Molise, who came from Pescara and Venafro to the capital in the seventies.

The group is therefore made up of the members of these families, with occasional relations with other Sinti families such as the De Rosa, the Di Guglielmo, the Di Rocco, the Ciarelli, the Di Lauro, the Zini, the Spada and the Spinelli; they also rely on the Seferović of Bosnian origin.

Areas of activity[]

The traditional cornerstones of the mafia clan are the areas located in the south-eastern outskirts of the Rome: , , , Tuscolano, Spinaceto and further down, towards the south, in other municipalities up to Frascati and Monte Compatri.

According to the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate (DIA), the Casamonica clan is the most powerful and rooted criminal structure in the Region of Lazio, with estimated assets amounting to 90 million euros. According to a census by Vittorio Rizzi, head of the Rome mobile team (Squadra Mobile, a division of State Police), the clan is made up of around a thousand affiliates.
