Mandamento (Sicilian Mafia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Italian administrative district, see Mandamento (administrative district).
Within Cosa Nostra a mandamento is traditionally a district of three geographically contiguous Mafia cosche (families controlling a single land feud, or a city ward) in Sicily. A capomandamento represents the head of a territory, the mandamento, and is usually entitled to be part of the provincial Mafia Commission.[1]
