Filippo and Giuseppe Graviano[]
Filippo and Giuseppe are the most well known members of the Graviano family, and the term "Graviano brothers" usually refers to the two of them. They are known also to be the instigators of the attempt to kill the priest Pino Puglisi,[2][3] and they are considered responsible of the murders of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.[4]
