Black Hand, symbol and name for a criminal and terroristic secret society, and especially associated with the Mafia and the Camorra. The Black Hand flourished in Sicily in the late 19th century, and in the United States it was especially active in New York City at the beginning of the 20th century. It is estimated that at one time 90% of New York City's Italian population was blackmailed by letters threatening death and marked with a black hand. Famous incidents associated with the Black Hand include the murder(1890) in New Orleans of chief of police Daniel Hennessy and the shooting(1909), in Palermo, Italy, of Lt. Joseph Petrosino of the New York City police. 2, record 14, English, - Black%20Hand
Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The society was so named because those who did not comply with its demands received notes imprinted with a black hand to warn them of terrible reprisals. Many Italians were expected to give up portions of their wages to this criminal group, and if they didn’t, they were repeatedly harassed and even killed. 3, record 14, English, - Black%20Hand

Over the next 30 years the Mafia became a power not only in Sicily but all over Italy as well. The Italian government began an anti-Mafia campaign in the early 1980s, leading not only to a number of arrests and sensational trials, but also to the assassination of several key law-enforcement officials in retaliation. 1, record 15, English, - anti%2DMafia%20campaign

Hot, humid, southerly winds in southern Italy, Sicily and Malta which originate over the Sahara but gain moisture on crossing the Mediterranean Sea. 2, record 16, English, - sirocco
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The air comes from the Sahara(as a desert wind) and is dry and dusty, but the term is not used in North Africa, where it is called chom(hot) or arifi(thirsty). In crossing the Mediterranean the sirocco picks up much moisture because of its high temperature, and reaches Malta, Sicily, and southern Italy as a very enervating, hot, humid wind. As it travels northward, it causes fog and rain. In some parts of the Mediterranean region the word may be used for any warm southerly wind, often of foehn type. In the extreme southwest of Greece a warm foehn crossing the coastal mountains is named sirocco di levante. There are a number of local variants of the spelling such as xaroco(Portuguese), jaloque or xaloque(Spanish), xaloc or xaloch(Catalonian). In the Rhône delta the warm rainy southeast sirocco is called eissero. On Zakynthos Island it is called lampaditsa. 3, record 16, English, - sirocco

L'air vient du Sahara comme vent de désert; il est chaud et poussiéreux. En Afrique du Nord, on l'appelle chom (chaud) ou arifi (soif). En traversant la Méditerranée, le sirocco recueille beaucoup d'humidité à cause de sa température élevée et atteint Malte, la Sicile et le sud de l'Italie comme vent humide et chaud. En se mouvant vers le nord, il produit du brouillard et de la pluie. Dans l'extrême sud-ouest de la Grèce un foehn chaud qui traverse les montagnes côtières porte le nom de sirocco di levante. L'appellation du vent diffère suivant les pays. Le sirocco s'appelle xaroco au Portugal, jaloque ou xaloque en Espagne, xaloc ou xaloch en Catalogne. Dans le delta du Rhône, le sirocco pluvieux et chaud est appelé eissero. À l'île de Zakynthos, on l'appelle lampaditsa. 2, record 16, French, - sirocco
