Editing Salvatore Nostrini (section)

== Leadership of the Nostrini crime family ==
Raffaele died on 6 February 1931. At a meeting of the ''consiglio maggiore'', Salvatore presented the records of ownership and the political agreements that he had managed. The council recognized him as ''capintesta'' because those records gave him effective control of the businesses. He formally assumed leadership on 7 February.<ref name="raffaele-succession"/>

Salvatore expanded through wartime supply theft and postwar construction contracts. During the 1940s, the [[Porzio crime family]] joined the Nostrini network. Porzio leaders continued to command their own members, but accepted Salvatore's decisions when disputes affected routes outside their territory.

After [[Oskar Dirlewanger]] reorganized the [[Bucharest Butchers]] in 1945, Salvatore approved cooperation with the Romanian group. Nostrini brokers arranged ships, trucks and warehouses in Italy. Butchers contacts supplied forged Romanian papers and safe storage in Bucharest. During the 1950s, their routes carried fugitives, stolen goods and weapons through Bari, Brindisi and the Balkans.

From 1947 to 1960, Salvatore directed the [[Nostrini conquest of Italy]]. His forces destroyed the [[Alessi crime family]] in western Sicily and the [[Marzano crime family]] in Calabria. Later campaigns eliminated the [[Caradonna crime family]] in Apulia, the [[Ventresca crime family]] in Rome and the [[Brivio crime family]] in Lombardy. Surviving crews could retain local work after surrendering their records, routes and a share of their income.

Payment lists seized in Rome named contacts in the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Merchant Navy. Companies tied to the family financed members of the Italian Parliament. Corrupt officials warned Salvatore about investigations and awarded contracts to businesses he selected.

During the late 1950s, Salvatore established contact with [[Glöbbery]] through northern Italian and Swiss financiers. He adopted its oaths and began recording payments in Glöbberian sacrifice ledgers. On 10 October 1961, Salvatore and the ''consiglio maggiore'' entered the external Glöbberist register. He became head of the Italian compact and required senior regional leaders to follow Glöbberian doctrine.
