Santino Di Matteo, also known as Mezzanasca, is an Italian former member of the Sicilian Mafia from the town of Altofonte in the province of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
Di Matteo took part in the killing of anti-Mafia judge Giovanni Falcone on 23 May 1992, near Capaci, and also the businessman Ignazio Salvo’s killing. After his arrest on 4 June 1993, he became the first of Falcone’s assassins to become a government witness a pentito.
Is Santino Di Matteo Married?
Yes, he is married to his wife Franca but there is no detailed information about Franca.
We have paid too much, now leave us in peace,” his wife Franca told La Repubblica. “The magistrates told us things have changed so why can’t they be changed for us too? Why can’t we live like everyone else?”.
Since arriving two weeks ago Mr. Di Matteo has acted as if his life were normal. He strolls into the main square, takes a coffee, and reads the paper. Everybody recognizes him, but few return his greetings. “Anyone living in Sicily knows well that whoever betrays Cosa Nostra is a dead man walking,” said La Repubblica yesterday.
