Gomorrah

Gomorrah (Italian: Gomorra) is a book of investigative journalism conducted by Roberto Saviano and published in 2006, which documents Saviano's infiltration and investigation of a number areas of business and daily life controlled or affected by criminal organization Camorra. Synopsis The book describes the clandestine particulars of the business of the Camorra, a powerful Neapolitan mafia-like organization. In this book Saviano employs prose and news-reporting style to narrate the story of the Camorra, exposing its territory and business connections. In an article in 2020, Saviano said "[w]e forget what Gomorrah really is: Gomorrah is not a mere synonym with Camorra, Gomorrah is an economic system wherein everything is missing, where there are no investments, no opportunities, no education, no jobs, no resources, no businesses." Since 2006, following the publication of the book, Saviano has been threatened by several Neapolitan “godfathers”. The Italian Minister of the Interior has granted him a permanent police escort, but he's been often attacked by politicians of Berlusconi's cabinet. Also, his escort has been questioned.
