Don Vittorio Casamonica goes out in style.
[Mail] Residents of Rome left furious after 'mafia boss' is given Hollywood-style funeral complete with horse-drawn carriage, flower petals and theme music from THE GODFATHER being played outside church Hundreds of tearful mourners in Rome paid final respects to Casamonica clan 'leader' Vittorio Casamonica, 65.

Six black horses seen pulling antique, black-and-gold carriage to a stop in front of church as a band played. But Mayor Ignazio Marino said it was 'intolerable that funerals are used by the living to send mafia messages.'
I love understated good taste.
Parish priest, the Reverend Giancarlo Manieri, insisted he had no control over what happened outside church
