On 14 May 1993 , television host Maurizio Costanzo , who had expressed delight at the arrest of Riina , was almost killed by a bomb as he drove down a Rome street ; 23 people were injured . The explosion was part of a series . Less than a fortnight later , on 27 May , a bomb under the Florence Torre dei Pulci killed five people : Fabrizio Nencini and his wife Angelamaria ; their daughters , nine-year-old Nadia and two-month-old Caterina ; and Dario Capolicchio , aged 20 . Thirty-three people were injured . Attacks on art galleries and churches left ten dead and many injured , causing outrage among Italians . Some investigators believed that most of those who carried out murders for Cosa Nostra answered solely to Leoluca Bagarella , and that consequently Bagarella actually wielded more power than Bernardo Provenzano , who was Riina 's formal successor . Provenzano reportedly protested about the terroristic attacks , but Bagarella responded sarcastically , telling Provenzano to wear a sign saying " I do n't have anything to do with the massacres "
