Denaro chose the name Francesco Averna for himself and introduced himself on his profile as a unique doctor who graduated from Bocconi University in Milan.
Matteo Messina Denaro, who was arrested last January at the gates of an oncology clinic in Palermo after more than thirty years of arrest, was sentenced to multiple life sentences, and died of illness in September, primarily used social media to keep in touch. Until his arrest, he wrote private messages to women, some of whom he met in person.
On the largest social network, the mafia leader had four followers, including four women who lived in Campobello di Mazara, the Sicilian town where Matteo Messina Denaro was hiding. The owner of a sports shop in Sicily also followed Francesco Averna's page.
On another profile, he had sixty-three followers and followed more than four hundred others. He did not publish a photo of himself: he recorded himself with a photo of a puppy.
She also sent messages on social media to her sister, Anna Patrizia, who used the name Lucilla after a Roman empress.
The authorities did not close the investigation with the death of Matteo Messina Denaro: they are constantly making public the secrets of the mafia leader's life and activities.
They also shed light on why the date October 8, 1981 was tattooed on Denaro's left arm in Roman numerals. After his arrest, he told his brothers who visited him in prison that it was an important date for him. In the mentioned year, Matteo Messina Denaro was nineteen years old, a young member of the family headed by Don Ciccio Messina Denaro. That day, a mafia showdown took place in the city of Palermo: in the space of a few hours, four murders were committed between members of opposing clans. Authorities now believe that Mattia Messina Denaro had his "initiation" that day and killed a person for the first time. This is how he became a member of Cosa Nostra, and until his arrest, he killed hundreds of people either personally or on orders.
