Antonio Commisso
Early life
Commisso was born in Siderno into a
traditional 'Ndrangheta family, the
Commisso 'ndrina. Since the 1960s,
Siderno was the fiefdom of Antonio Macrì,
the undisputed boss at the time, who was
connected with the Commisso clan. In
January 1975, Macrì was killed in the so-
called First 'Ndrangheta war. His right-
hand man Francesco Commisso – who
was wounded in the attack on Macrì – was
intended to be his successor. However,
Francesco Commisso appointed his son,
Cosimo, also known as "the quail" ("'u
quagghia"), as the new boss of the locale
of Siderno.[1]
Fugitive
Antonio Commisso was first arrested in
1999.[3] While awaiting appeal, he regularly
had to report to police, was subject to a
strict night-time curfew, and was
prohibited from leaving town.[1]
