'See Naples and Die' - when the expression was coined two hundred years ago it was to describe the great beauty of the city. Today it could as well apply to the deadly power of the region's greatest menace.The Camorra - Naples' equivalent to the Mafia - was born in the late 18th century, about a century earlier than its Sicilian counterpart.
