The final episode of the Italy quartet, and the one that's been a long time coming - we look at the dark tale of Roberto Calvi, the Bank of God, corruption in high finance, and a neofascist Masonic lodge. It's a story that will blast your third eye clean, and seriously shit you up.
(apologies for the weird gaps in the opening 10, my cat was looming)

Here it is, the Second Mafia War. In this monster-length outing, we talk mafia politics, heroin trafficking, the real Corleone family, the CIA, Luciano, Lansky, terrorist bombings, massacres, murders, and more. It’s a blood soaked journey through one of the darkest periods of Italy's recent past, and a sorely overlooked part of modern European history to boot.
