According to legend, three Spanish knights founded the mafia in Italy

The legend of the three knights Osso, Mastrosso and Carcagnosso began in 15th-century Spain in Toledo, the seat of an association called la Garduña, founded in 1412.

The members of this society acted according to a precise model of behavior referring to the chivalric epic and its main features: honor, a specific ethical code and a strong connection to religion.

Among them were the brothers Osso, Mastrosso and Carcagnosso, who for years acted with impunity with the cooperation of the rulers, judges, administrators and believers of the church. 

But one day, their sister's honor is touched by someone very close to the King.

The three brothers decided to take revenge for the insult suffered by their family.

After they committed the crime and were found guilty of murder they were sentenced to prison on the remote island of Favignana, territory at the time belonging to the Aragonese crown, within the castle of Santa Caterina.

The three were locked in a narrow and dark cell, but they did not lose heart, they worked hard to establish the rules of a new society. 

One was dedicated to Jesus Christ, the other to Archangel Michael, who with sword in hand and scales decides justice and injustice, and the third to Saint Peter, who holds the keys to open all doors. 

Së bashku ata shkruan kode, formula sekrete, rregulla, rite pranimi dhe përkatësie, simbole ezoterike, fjalë kyçe, manuale të tëra rregullash dhe disiplinash.

Ishulli i vogël i Egadit ishte shtëpia e tre kalorësve për gati tridhjetë vjet. 

Më në fund të lirë nga hekurat spanjolle, tre kalorësit u përqafuan me njëri-tjetrin, duke u betuar për respekt dhe besnikëri reciproke për lidhjen e shenjtë të familjes dhe besimit.

 Ata u ndanë, Osso vendosi të qëndronte në Siçili për t'u bërë themeluesi i Cosa Nostra , Mastrosso, pasi kishte kaluar ngushticën e Mesinës, u martua në Kalabri ku hodhi themelet për krijimin e 'Ndragheta' ,  Carcagnosso udhëtoi për në Napoli, ku mbolli themelet e Kamorrës.

 As revealed during the investigation into the 2007 Duisburg massacre, those who join the 'Ndrangheta still swear allegiance to the Three Knights of Toledo, burning a holy picture of the Archangel Michael and shedding three drops of their blood. / Prepared by Alfapress.al
