Music by Syon (Thomas Nicosia) Prelude in Em
In the early years of the twentieth century a wave of terror unprecedented in peacetime crossed the United States. The members of the secret organization threatened to kill the members of the Italian community if they did not agree to pay. The acolytes of the black hand burned or blew up the houses, kidnapped the children of the victims, so much so that in 1899 in Brooklyn it was already a habitual phenomenon. There were cases in which the torturers, armed with guns and knives, faced in broad daylight on the street the victims. The leaders of the Black Hand were originally members of the Sicilian Mafia. Many of the worst criminals had emigrated, along with the many honest Italians, to the USA.
