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 Barovero (Piedmont), the Cena (Turin), 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 Seferovic of Bosnian origin.

Areas of activity

The traditional cornerstones of the mafia clan are the areas located in the south-eastern outskirts of the capital: Romanina, Anagnina, Porta Furba, 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), it is the most powerful and rooted criminal structure in Lazio, with an estimated assets of 90 million euros. According to a census by Vittorio Rizzi, head of the Rome mobile team, the clan is made up of a thousand affiliates.
