Who did not know the villages perched on the Aspromonte told by Corrado Alvaro, he learned the names, especially since the '80s when, as some of them, some of the orders, when not even the perpetrators of kidnappings that have entered the criminal history of Italy. Seizures of the way that today are found only in those carried out by paramilitary units in South America, but that the 'Ndrangheta, and concocted charges performed with very monotonous in their effectiveness: abduction in a city' of the north, moving truck hostage in cavities that from the north to the south in particular vegetables, transfer of prisoners seized in the most accessible, especially in natural cavities of the Aspromonte, the conduct of negotiations carried out by a phone ' which translates, in talks with representatives of the families of the kidnapped, the latest indications of the thigh. Negotiations and imprisonment. But one of the seizures, thought and studied at San Luca, where he was born Corrado Alvaro, failed in January 1990 when a commando of four young people (the 'sanlucoti' Sebastiano Strangio, 26, Salvatore Romeo, 30, and Sebastian Giampaolo, 39, and Joseph Ietto, 29, of Careri) in Germantown, near Varese, sought to seize Francesca Dellea, then twenty-seven, a daughter of the owner of a chain of fuel depots. Northern Italy "discovered" then St. Luke, who became the target of a wave of real hatred, unleashed with the passage hours and gave off a sort of race to insult and threat, often bordering on racism toward Calabria. One phenomenon that at the time was that manifested themselves - internet and email were still only in the minds and dreams of a few scholars of electronics - in letters sent to representatives of the community of St. Luke: the mayor, the City Council, the pastor. Hundreds of letters in a historical moment that saw the birth in the northern regions of the Northern League political phenomenon. Many of those letters were collected by two journalists of the NSA, Diego and Philip Minutes Veltri, who published, within a few months of attempted kidnapping, a book, "Letters to San Luca, with a preface by Corrado Stajano One insight into a reality that was the subject of sociological and political analysis brought to light because a chain of hatred in which the historical fact that he had created - the death of the four kidnappers missed Germantown - appeared as a pretext and not as a justification . Seizures most striking were those of John Paul Ghetty and Cesare Casella (743 days).
The hostages were hidden in the Aspromonte area, the 'gods were those involved ndrine Plati and San Laca who worked in Piedmont, and those of Reggio Lametini in the Po valley, and finally those of Gioia Tauro and Locri in Rome. The kidnappings took place in Calabria: in that time they were 68 recorded in the region. It must be remembered also sequestro del fotografo Bovalinese, Lollò cartisano.
Il sostituto procuratore antimafia di allora, Vincenzo Macrì, ipotizzò che la brevità dei sequestri, a parte casi eclatanti, fu dovuta probabilmente a una presunta connessione diretta fra stato, "organi occulti" e criminalità che si accordavano sul pagamento. Si smise coi sequestri di persona, alla fine perché attiravano troppo l'attenzione dei media, e dello stato che in quel periodo portò in Aspromonte anche l'esercito. I sequestri di persona continuarono fino agli anni '90 solo nella Locride.
