You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Plot==
Born in [[Sicily]] as Salvatore Lucania, [[Lucky Luciano|Charles “Lucky” Luciano]] rises to become “the boss of all bosses” of the [[American Mafia]] in the 1930s by eliminating his rivals for power. When eventually imprisoned, Luciano eventually secures his release by offering his services to military intelligence during [[World War II]], receiving a commutation from New York Governor [[Thomas E. Dewey]] and subsequently being deported to Italy.

Settling in [[Naples]], Luciano takes control of the underground drug trade, managing to avoid prosecution through the use of proxies, covertly running his operation out of a [[Horse track|race track]]. [[Federal Bureau of Narcotics]] agent Charles Siragusa is assigned to bring down Luciano, managing to turn his associate Gene Giannini informant. Giannini tries to lure Luciano out of the country to [[Marseilles]], but Luciano refuses to talk business.

When Giannini fails to get Siragusa the results he wants, he allows the informant to spend a year in an Italian jail for carrying [[counterfeit currency]]. Giannini attempts to contact Siragusa by sending letters through his mistress, but she has begun an affair with Luciano who reads their contents and learns of his friend's double-dealing. Siragusa sends Giannini back to the United States to testify against Luciano, but he's assassinated on Luciano's orders before he can do so. Siragusa's superiors order him to halt his investigation. He accuses them of trying to cover for Dewey, claiming that he only commuted Luciano after the mobster bribed him, though they deny it.

By 1962, dozens of Luciano's associates in the drug trade have been arrested. The Italian authorities detain him and reveal they have discovered his smuggling scheme. Under immense stress, Luciano falls ill but seemingly recovers. Police tail him to the airport where he is to meet with a filmmaker writing a screenplay about his life, but he suffers a fatal heart attack and dies.

== Style ==
Like Rosi's previous film ''[[The Mattei Affair]]'', the film is presented in a [[docudrama]] style representing Rosi's notion of ''cine-inchieste'' (film investigation), avoiding the personal aspects of the biopic or gangster genre and focusing on the researched facts of Luciano's life and activities, and their broader implications.<ref>((Cite web|title=The Forgotten: Francesco Rosi's "Lucky Luciano" (1973)|url=http://mubi.com/notebook/posts/the-forgotten-francesco-rosis-lucky-luciano-1973|access-date=2021-02-05|website=MUBI|date=29 January 2015 |language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite web|last=Cinescope|date=2015-06-09|title=Viewing Diary: Lucky Luciano (Francesco Rosi, 1973)|url=https://cine-scope.com/2015/06/09/viewing-diary-lucky-luciano-francesco-rosi-1973/|access-date=2021-02-05|language=en))</ref>
