Timeline

1927

Gerlando Alberti (September 18, 1927 – February 1, 2012), nicknamed 'u Paccarè ("the imperturbable one"), was a member of the Sicilian Mafia.

He belonged to the Porta Nuova family in Palermo headed by Giuseppe Calò.

1950

In the 1950s and 1960s, Alberti was considered to be an upstart Mafia boss in the shadow of men like Pietro Torretta, Tommaso Buscetta and the La Barbera brothers.

They formed the so-called "New Mafia", which adopted new gangster techniques.

Those starting their careers in their shadow were forming into new generation of mafiosi; they had initiative, and the road to leadership of a cosca had suddenly become quicker and more readily available to those who were fast with their tommy-guns.

Alberti's official business was selling textiles, employing a squad of travelling salesmen, a wonderful cover for both his trafficking operations and smuggling jewels and works of art (he allegedly possessed a Caravaggio Nativity ).

1956

In 1956 he was acquitted of a killing for lack of evidence.

1961

In 1961 he set up a textile trading business in Milan and formed a cosca in Northern Italy, with bases in Genoa and Milan.

1963

Alberti was involved in numerous notorious Mafia events, such as the Ciaculli massacre in 1963, the Viale Lazio massacre in 1969, the disappearance of journalist Mauro De Mauro in 1970, and the killing of Chief Prosecutor Pietro Scaglione in 1971.

Alberti was indicted in July 1963 with 53 other mafiosi after the Ciaculli massacre, which turned the First Mafia War into a war against the Mafia.

Together with Tommaso Buscetta, he was suspected of the attack against Angelo La Barbera, one of the protagonists of the war, in Milan in May 1963.

At the "Trial of the 114" he was acquitted but sent into internal exile in a village in Lombardy.

Alberti, although living in Milan, had been in Palermo at the time of the bomb attack in Ciaculli.

Interrogated, he declared that he had been with a woman and could not reveal her name.

1969

In December 1969 he was again in Palermo (while he was supposed to be in exile) when Mafia boss Michele Cavataio was killed by a Mafia hit squad for his double-crossing role in the First Mafia War.

At the time, the Carabinieri began to consider Alberti as the boss of a kind of Murder Incorporated for the Sicilian Cosa Nostra.

1970

He was one of the top mafiosi involved in cigarette smuggling and heroin trafficking in the 1970s.

He once said of the Mafia: "Mafia! What is that? A kind of cheese?"

Alberti was the son of a fruit seller and was born and grew up in Palermo, in the derelict district of Danisinni.

He was born at home; the midwife begged to be allowed to bring his mother to the front door because of the lack of daylight in the house.

He only went to school for four years.

Alberti was initiated in the Mafia by Gaetano Filippone.

His first test was to steal an entire cheese.

Alberti was one of the rising stars of the Mafia in the 1970s.

He had a luxurious lifestyle with apartments in Milan and Naples, he owned a green Maserati and he and his men spent their evenings at nightclubs with expensive women.

His position was confirmed on June 17, 1970, when the traffic police in Milan stopped an Alfa Romeo for speeding.

In the car were Alberti, Tommaso Buscetta, Salvatore "Ciaschiteddu" Greco, Gaetano Badalamenti and Giuseppe Calderone.

Unaware of the identity of the men in the car the police let them continue their journey.

At the time, they were involved in a series of meetings about the future of Cosa Nostra.

They decided to set up a new Sicilian Mafia Commission (the first one was dissolved after the Ciaculli massacre) – initially headed by a triumvirate consisting of Gaetano Badalamenti, Stefano Bontade and the Corleonesi boss Luciano Leggio.

1971

On May 5, 1971, Pietro Scaglione, Chief Prosecutor of Palermo, was killed with his driver Antonino Lo Russo.

It was the first time since the end of World War II that the Mafia had carried out a hit on an Italian magistrate.

The police rounded up 114 mafiosi who would be tried in the second "Trial of the 114".

Scaglione was killed in the district under Alberti’s command.

Alberti had arrived from Naples just before the attack and left immediately afterwards.

A barman who had confirmed to the police that Alberti was in Palermo while Scaglione’s murder was taking place was kidnapped and killed.

1974

At the second "Trial of the 114" in 1974, Alberti was convicted and sentenced to six years.

In March 1974, Alberti was charged in Rome with heroin trafficking as the result a 30-month investigation.

1975

Sent to the island of Asinara, he escaped in June 1975, but was arrested again in December that year, hiding among Sicilians in Northern Italy.

1977

In October 1977 he became a fugitive again, when he was supposed to appear before a court in Naples charged with cigarette smuggling.
