Stefano Bontate
The Falcon
Stefano Bontate was the mafia boss nicknamed "the Falcon" or also "the prince of Villagrazia." Bontade's story intersects with many Italian secrets, from the death of Enrico Mattei to that of Mauro De Mauro, from the Golpe Borghese to the Moro case, from Sindona to the P2, from Mino Pecorelli to Berlusconi, up to the day of his death. Stefano Bontate's life was brought to an end by his arch-enemy Salvatore Riina, who halted the flight of the falcon just when he thought he could reach unexplored heights.
