Naples – The truce was short-lived. After a seemingly calm period, the Camorra feud between the Mazzarellas and the Continis is once again shaking the streets of Naples. Last night, a riot brought the sound of guns back to the heart of the city: at least six shots were fired on Via San Cosmo Fuori Porta Nolana, an area historically under the influence of the Caldarelli-Mazzarella gang.
According to initial reports, three motorcycles were seen speeding around 1:00 a.m., moments before the shooting. The bosses of the two main clans are almost all behind bars, but the new recruits—young, armed men seeking visibility and power—are attempting to assert themselves through raids and intimidation.
Officers from the Flying Squad and the local police station intervened on the scene and found several 9x21 caliber shell casings.

Investigators are maintaining the utmost secrecy, but admit that incidents like this "have been increasing in recent weeks." Tensions are rising, and with it the feeling that the truce between the clans has finally broken down. There's excitement among the young members—each wanting to prove they can keep their group's name afloat.
The focus, once again, is on the areas disputed between the Mazzarella family of San Giovanni a Teduccio and the Contini family of the Secondigliano Alliance, with active offshoots in the Mercato, Porta Nolana, and La Maddalena neighborhoods. The shadow of the feud looms once again, while investigators are strengthening their presence in the area to prevent further shootings.
