Gerlando Alberti (Italian pronunciation:[dʒerˈlandoalˈbɛrti]; September 18, 1927 – February 1, 2012), nicknamed 'u Paccarè ("the imperturbable one"),[1] was a member of the Sicilian Mafia.[2] He belonged to the Porta Nuova family in Palermo headed by Giuseppe Calò.
Alberti was involved in numerous notorious Mafia events, such as the Ciaculli massacre in 1963, the Viale Lazio massacre in 1969, the disappearance of journalist Mauro De Mauro in 1970, and the killing of Chief Prosecutor Pietro Scaglione in 1971.[3] He was one of the top mafiosi involved in cigarette smuggling and heroin trafficking in the 1970s. He once said of the Mafia: "Mafia! What is that? A kind of cheese?"[1][4]
