Pietro Torretta
Pietro Torretta (ca. 1912 – October 3, 1975) was a member of the Sicilian Mafia. He was the boss of the Mafia family in the Uditore district in Palermo and one of the protagonists in the First Mafia War. He was initially considered to be the man behind the Ciaculli massacre.
==Early career==
Torretta hails from a long line of Mafiosi. He probably was the son of Francesco Torretta who is mentioned in the Sangiorgi report at the turn of the 20th century as major Mafioso.〔Lupo, ''History of the Mafia'', p. 213. Ermanno Sangiorgi, Questore (chief of police) of Palermo from 1898-1900 wrote a series of very comprehensive reports on Palermo's and the province's Mafia, formed by various groups, coordinated by a "conference among bosses" and headed by a "supreme boss", with details of criminal family structures, individual profiles, Mafia initiation rituals, codes of behaviour as well as it business methods and operations.〕 Pietro Torretta was a member of the band of bandit Salvatore Giuliano.〔〔Dickie, ''Cosa Nostra'', p. 311〕 He was first arrested in 1948 on extortion charges but released for lack of evidence.〔(Sicilian Mafia Leader Is Arrested ), The New York Times, February 10, 1964〕
He came from a poor background and began his career as a watchman/guard and gabellotto. He rose through the ranks, first a simple Mafia soldier, to becoming a boss. According to people who knew him, he was tall, thin, elegant, casual, balanced and on the whole, sympathetic in his social relations; "he spoke and behaved as a wise father."〔 (E morto Torretta, vecchio boss mafioso terrorizzava Palermo negli Anni Sessanta ), La Stampa, October 4, 1975〕 On the other hand, the New York Times described him as short, slight and fastidious in dress, with a rock-hard impassive face, deeply sunken cheeks and a slit of a mouth.〔(Mafia; All in a Big Cage in Italy ), The New York Times, November 19, 1967〕
