Mrs Z and I were taken down from Tropea to Scilla by our landlady Ginevra's preferred taxi driver Valerio. The route went through Rosarno. This is the heartland of the organized crime outfit 'Ndrangheta. They remain in control. An estimated 25% of the population are said to be employed by that powerful entity. Brave West African clementine pickers recently rioted in Rosarno due to intolerable working conditions. An infamous prison exists in the next town Gioia Tauro (see the movie 'A Ciambra').
