Danny Gold: 拉法埃莱·库托洛，绰号"教授"，通过在监狱中建立强大的Nuovo Camorra组织（NCO），并运用其个人魅力和策略，最终控制了那不勒斯的监狱系统，并向其他卡莫拉家族和西西里黑手党挑战，引发了血腥的卡莫拉战争。他的组织纪律严明，等级森严，与其他较为松散的卡莫拉家族形成鲜明对比。库托洛在监狱中享有特权，生活奢靡，并利用各种手段敛财，甚至参与政府项目和农业补贴欺诈。他精于政治手腕，曾参与政治家绑架案的谈判，并利用媒体来提升自身形象和影响力。然而，他的贪婪和对政府的挑战最终导致了他的失败，NCO被对手系统性地瓦解，库托洛本人也被囚禁，最终在2021年去世。 Sean Williams: (由于Sean Williams在访谈中更多的是补充和评论，而非提出独立的观点，因此此处仅简要概括其参与)：Sean Williams主要对Danny Gold的叙述进行补充和评论，提供了额外的背景信息和一些有趣的观点，例如对库托洛诗歌的评价，以及对意大利黑帮文化和社会环境的分析。

Shownotes Transcript

The Camorra clans of Naples had always played second fiddle to the Sicilian Mafia and the Calabrian 'Ndranghetta. Until Raffaelle Cutolo started building up his Nuovo Camorra Organization while locked up in a notorious prison. When he wasn't writing poetry or challenging other bosses to knife fights, his old school charisma and genius leadership skills, as well as his insanity, saw him take a small prison crew and build it into an army of thousands ready to die for him. Many of his soldiers would get that opportunity as he started a war trying to rule all of Naples, but it was his battles with the government that ended up really taking their toll.
