Thousands of users have joined fan pages devoted to top Mafia bosses on the social networking site Facebook, the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica reported Tuesday. A page devoted to Salvatore “Totò” Riina, the “boss of bosses,” who is serving 12 life sentences, has more than 2,228 fans, some of whom wished him a merry Christmas. Other fans called for the “immediate beatification” of Bernardo Provenzano, who was imprisoned in 2006. Relatives of Mafia victims expressed outrage.
