L'Effetto Saviano
Wednesday December 31, 2008
In A Reporter Lands a Slot on Italian Best-Seller Lists and Hit Lists the New York Times points out the recent phenomenon in Italy called l'effetto Saviano (the "Saviano effect"), the "...intense national focus on the Camorra elicited by Roberto Saviano's 2006 best seller, "Gomorrah," which traced the rise of the Campania region's violent and economically mighty clans."
The article profiles Rosaria Capacchione, a veteran reporter for Il Mattino, a daily newspaper in Caserta, outside Napoli, who since the mid-1980s has reported on the short lives, violent deaths, and intricate finances of the members of the Camorra's ruling families, particularly the Casalesi, as those from the town of Castel di Principe are known.
