The informer recounts the Pianura feud: "The Calones wouldn't send money to boss Vitale Perfetto in prison, and war broke out..."

There's an area in Pianura where drugs aren't just a clandestine trade, but a veritable corporate machine, militarized and ruthless. The precautionary order issued by the Court of Naples (signed by GIP Dr. Luca Della Ragione and at the request of Deputy Prosecutors of the DDA Dr. Stefania Di Dona and Dr. Salvatore Frisco) definitively sheds light on the drug dealing hub at Via E. Torricelli 30D.

At the center of this criminal network stands Salvatore D'Anna, nicknamed "the visionary," the initiator and undisputed mastermind of a syndicate capable of making thousands of euros a day selling cocaine, crack, hashish, and marijuana just meters from the neighborhood schools.

The Torricelli Street fort: the 24-hour drug dealing hub near schools.

The fixed drug dealing hub was located inside an illegal building in the courtyard of Salvatore D'Anna's home. He was accompanied by his brother Salvatore, known as "Oino," before he was murdered in a Camorra ambush on March 2, 2025. This logistics hub was located in dramatic proximity to two schools: the "Don Giustino Russolillo - Palma Scamardella" State Comprehensive School and the "Vittorio Da Feltre" nursery school. For this reason, the organization's members were charged with the serious aggravating circumstance of dealing near places of education attended by minors. Furthermore, to maximize profits and the strength of the hub, "o' visionario" also used minors to package and distribute drugs, thus attempting to evade law enforcement.

The Pianuras' massive drug trafficking operations were also shed light on by collaborators of justice who recounted the criminal context. The names that emerge most prominently are Giuseppe Contino, Pasquale Pesce, Luigi Pesce, Salvatore Romano, Raffaele Dello Iacolo, and Yussef Aboumouslim, all of whom are cited in the historical account of Pianura's dynamics and in the reconstructions of the relationships between Camorra groups.

Their statements helped explain the neighborhood's criminal history, the broken alliances, and the emergence of new groups following arrests and internal rifts. In particular, collaborator Yussef Aboumouslim was called upon to reconstruct the conflict that arose over the management of the drug dealing center and the relationship between Vitale Perfetto's group and Carlo Esposito's.

Revelations from the repentant Aboumouslim: the split and the fund for prisoners

The one who revealed the background to the Pianura feud was the collaborator of justice Yussef Aboumouslim (in the report of 27 April 2021), who recounted how the origin of the war is linked to the breaking of the pacts on the common fund between the bosses Carlo Esposito ("Carlucciello") and Vitale Perfetto ("steel chest"), who was in prison at the time:
“…Maurizio Legnante held these meetings in the Calone family's square, due to his close ties to Vitale Perfetto, who was in prison at the time. He complained that the Calones weren't sending money to prison to support him. Their relationship broke down because Carlo Esposito argued with Vitale Perfetto's son, who wanted a share of the business and Carlo Esposito only wanted to pay him a month's wages. When the relationship broke down, Carlo Esposito began to manage the business exclusively… When payments stopped, Carlo Esposito and Vitale Perfetto split…”
This rift triggered an endless trail of bloodshed, with the working-class neighborhood of Via Torricelli transformed into the scene of a vicious feud for the monopoly on drug dealing and extortion in the neighborhood.

All the men of the "Visionary" square

Among those involved in the "Vionario" operation listed in the order were pushers operating the "balance" (a small scale) such as Alfredo Pace, Vincenzo Ambrosio, Franco Granito, and Mario Guida, who were charged with retailing cocaine, hashish, and marijuana within the drug dealing center. A second group allegedly provided "home delivery" services, delivering doses ordered by phone using the code known in slang as "intercom." This group included Luigi Agnino, Giuseppe Pisa, Carmine Iacuaniello, and Marco Ricciardi, described as transporting the doses on motorcycles and distributing them to buyers' homes.

Pushers and “Home Delivery”: the corporate organization of drug dealing

Investigations by the Carabinieri of the Bagnoli Company in Naples revealed a precise division of roles within the group, comparable to a corporate assembly line:

The Promoters and Leaders

Salvatore D'Anna (born '65 – "the visionary"): Undisputed boss. He organized supplies, managed the drug dealers' shifts inside the building, controlled the accounting of illicit proceeds, and imposed order in the neighborhood.
Pasquale D'Anna (born 90, deceased): Co-promoter of the organization alongside his brother Salvatore, before being murdered in a Camorra ambush on March 2, 2025.

The Pushers "at the Bilancino" (Fixed Dealership)

Alfredo Pace (class of '91), Vincenzo Ambrosio (class of '92), Franco Granito (class of '90) and Mario Guida (class of '79 – “Maritiello”): They were in charge of weighing, packaging and retailing doses of cocaine, crack and hashish directly in the fort on Via Torricelli.

Drug Riders (“Home Delivery”)

Luigi Agnino (born 67 – “Giggino”), Giuseppe Pisa (born 96), Carmine Iacuaniello (born 97), Marco Ricciardi (born 86), and Francesco Ricchiuti (born 99): They formed the drug dealing mobile network. They received customers' orders on the clan's intercom phone and set off on ordinary scooters to deliver the doses directly to homes throughout the western part of the city.

Technical Support

Giorgio Mele (born in 92): Although he was not a permanent member of the clan, he worked to uncover bugs, GPS devices and interception devices placed by investigators on the Fiat 500X used by Salvatore D'Anna, carrying out actual electronic "sweeps".

The investigating judge charges the group with conspiracy to traffic drugs, including the importation, possession, and sale of cocaine, crack, hashish, and marijuana. The order also cites the aggravating circumstance of drug sales near local schools and preschools, a factor that adds weight to the prosecution's case. The judicial reconstruction describes a structure with over ten people, an organized structure, and operational continuity extending from June to December 2024.
