Sandro Borsa

Sandro Borsa was an Italian aristocrat. Descended from Sicilian nobility, he was one of the island's largest landowners, paying protection money to his godfather Don Croce Malo in exchange for protection against the restless peasantry after World War II. He also had a long-running affair with Camilla, Duchess of Crotone, whom he gifted a ring. In 1948, he was kidnapped by the bandit Salvatore Giuliano, who treated him with courtesy and respect until Don Malo paid his ransom. When six Mafia bosses came to his estate to lease land to him, he let Giuliano and his bandits massacre them as he listened to music in his mansion.
