“Four polystyrene busts depicting the four bosses of the infamous Banda della Magliana have appeared this morning in a small garden at Eur, in front of the Palazzo della Civiltà del Lavoro, an area not far from Magliana, the headquarters of the criminal organization that made headlines, not only in the crime section, during the 1970s.” La Stampa
“Rome, controversy over the busts of the Magliana Gang: already removed. The polystyrene statues had appeared in a garden in Eur to promote a television series.” Il Corriere della Sera
“We don’t know how these statues can be used to advertise a movie. My advice is to remove the statues because it doesn’t seem like a good idea at all.” Gianni Alemanno (Mayor of Rome at the time of the events).
