Giuseppe Marchese
Member of the Sicilian Mafia
Giuseppe Marchese (born 12 December 1963) is a former member of the SicilianMafia, who turned state witness (pentito). Giuseppe Pino Marchese was born in Palermo in a family with long-standing ties to the Mafia. His father Vincenzo and his uncle Filippo Marchese were both members of Cosa Nostra.
Early Mafia career
He learned the hard way what it meant to be born into a Mafia family. When he was 16 he wanted to marry a girl. However, her parents were separated, which, according to the rules of Cosa Nostra, was not allowed. Giuseppe’s brother made the suggestion that he "clean up the family mess" and marry an orphan instead of the daughter of separated parents. In other words, Giuseppe was supposed to kill his girlfriend’s father. If he would not do it, his brother would. Giuseppe broke off the relationship.[1]

Filippo Marchese
Sicilian Mafia hitman (1938–1982)
Filippo Marchese (11 September 1938 in Palermo – September 1982 in Palermo) was a leading figure in the Sicilian Mafia and a hitman suspected of dozens of homicides. Marchese was one of the most feared killers working for mafia boss Vincenzo Chiaracane, closely related to the Giuseppe Greco family which was in control of the Ciaculli neighbourhood of Palermo.
He was the boss of the Mafia family in the Corso dei Mille neighbourhood in Palermo.[1]
Room of Death
Marchese ran what became known as the Room of Death, a small apartment along the Piazza Sant Erasmo.[2] Victims who stood in the way of the Corleonesi, the Mafia clan from the town of Corleone, were lured there to be murdered, usually by being garrotted. Their bodies were either dissolved in acid or chopped up and dumped out at sea. As many as 100 people – mafiosi who stood in the way of the Commission bosses, Michele Greco, Salvatore Riina and Bernardo Provenzano, and their associates – were killed there during the Second Mafia War.
