Antonio Cottone
Antonio Cottone (1904/1905 – August 22, 1956) was a member of the Sicilian Mafia in his hometown Villabate in the province of Palermo, Sicily. He was known as ''U Patre Nostru'' (Our Heavenly Father) due to his generosity.〔Lewis, The Honoured Society, p. 232.〕 The Cottone clan was a historical Mafia family. They were mentioned in 1937 as the Mafia bosses of Villabate by Melchiorre Allegra, a mafioso physician who became an informant when he was arrested.〔Twentyfive pages of Allegra’s testimony were published in 1962 in the newspaper ''L'Ora'' by Mauro De Mauro. See: (Testimony of Melchiorre Allegra ), ExLEGI website〕
==Influential Mafia boss==
Antonio ''Nino'' Cottone had worked for the Profaci brothers in New York City and was deported back to Sicily. He became the boss of Villabate where the Profaci family originated. Cottone was not only influential in his own town but in Palermo as well.〔Servadio, ''Mafioso'', p. 178〕 After the Allied invasion of Sicily during World War II (Operation Husky), Cottone was made mayor of Villabate by the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories (AMGOT) who looked for anti-fascist notables to replace fascist authorities.〔Dickie, ''Cosa Nostra'', p. 242.〕 Local townspeople remember that when Cottone made his walk along Villabate’s main street every morning and every afternoon he was “revered and honoured by many citizens that almost prostrated themselves at his feet.”〔 Tesauro, ''Dai giardini della Conca d'Oro all'impresa'', p. 61-63〕
A onetime butcher who prospered mightily during the U.S. occupation of Sicily, Nino Cottone was respected for his wealth and for his excellent connections in the Christian Democrat party (DC—Democrazia Cristiana). The foundation of Nino's respectability was the fact that he was a boss of the "Mafia of the Gardens"—the section of Cosa Nostra that "protects" Palermo's fruit market men and citrus growers.〔(Sicilian Blood ), Time, September 3, 1956〕 Cottone also ran the meat supply to Palermo's wholesale market and got his meat from cattle thief Luciano Leggio from Corleone, who he introduced on the Palermo market.〔 Oliva & Palazzolo, ''L'altra mafia'', (p. 63 )〕 Cottone also mediated the peace in the violent vendetta within the Greco Mafia clan between the factions of Ciaculli and Croceverde Giardini. The daughter of Nino Cottone, Maria Cottone, married Salvatore "The Senator" Greco.〔〔Lupo, ''History of the Mafia'', p. 197〕〔Caruso, ''Da cosa nasce cosa'', p. 86/89〕〔Dickie, ''Cosa Nostra'', p. 256.〕
