Dedicated to the memory of Bruno Caccia, Chief Prosecutor of Turin, killed in a mafia ambush on 26 June 1983 and his wife Carla, the Cascina has become a symbol of the fight against the mafia in Northern Italy, but even more so, a symbol of light and redemption. The property belonged to the 'Ndrangheta family of Domenico Belfiore, regent of a real Mafia who single-handedly controlled and managed drug trafficking, loan sharking, kidnapping, gambling, and betting throughout the Turin metropolitan area. Domenico was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1993 as the instigator of Bruno Caccia's murder.
