The aftermath
The Circonvallazione massacre, in Italian Strage della Circonvallazione, is a Cosa Nostra attack that took place on 16 June 1982 on the Palermo ring road. The attack was directed against Catanese boss , who was transferred from Enna to the Trapani jail, and died with the three escort carabinieri (Salvatore Raiti, Silvano Franzolin and Luigi Di Barca) and the 22-year-old Giuseppe Di Lavore, the driver of the private company that had the transportation of prisoners, who had replaced his father. The mandator of this massacre was Nitto Santapaola, who was in a years-long war with Ferlito for predominance on the Catania territory.[1]
