THE bosses of Italy's three biggest crime families have been spotted in a secret dinner, amid fears of a super-mafia alliance.

Senior mafiosi from the 'Ndrangheta, in Calabria, Camorra of Naples and Sicily's Cosa Nostra clans were caught on camera sharing pasta and wine.

The encounter dates back to April 2021, and was reportedly one of many meetings that cops had under surveillance.

Prosecutors have also warned the emergence of a grand crime coalition in the north of Italy.

"This is Milan," one alleged Camorra mafia don was heard saying to an ally, according to a Telegraph report.

"We're not in Sicily, we're not in Rome, we're not in Naples, this is where we're doing the good stuff."

A suspected member of Cosa Nostra allegedly replied: "We've built an empire."

Reports say that the three families had put aside their historic rivalries to form a "super mafia" alliance, taking advantage of business opportunities in the northern Italian region of Lombardy.
