A southern Italian province thought it had the local mafia on the run. Now the mob is fighting back, with a wave of arson and bomb attacks.

Pay or Burn: An Italian Mafia’s Message to Businesses... Just Like Governments...  2Q==
Dario Melillo, owner of a beach resort destroyed in an arson attack in late January, stood amid the still smoldering remains of the building in Foggia, Italy, earlier this month.



FOGGIA, Italy—On a November morning, Gianpaolo Romano found an unsigned letter under the glass entrance of his car showroom in this south Italian province known for its pristine beaches, vast tomato fields and, these days, a ruthless local mafia.
The message said he had to pay €250,000, equivalent to $286,000, to be safe. It didn’t say to whom he had to pay the pizzo, or protection money, but that he should find them himself. They knew his habits and where his family lived, the letter said. It was the first time he had received such a demand.
