About Antonino Calderone

Antonino Calderone was a Sicilian Mafioso who turned state witness (pentito) in 1987 after his arrest in 1986. According to Antonino Calderone, the first Mafia family in Catania was started by Antonio Saitta, in 1925. Calderone owned a gas station and entered profitable business ventures thanks to his Mafia connections, and rose through the ranks of the Calderone family until he became underboss of the Catania Mafia. Calderone became more and more marginalized and decided to leave Catania in 1983 fearing for his life. While he was in the Nice prison, Calderone became convinced that he was about to be killed by other Sicilian inmates.
