Today on Spotlight Monday we delve deeper into the life of Aliyana Capello

An Interview with Aliyana Capello (19) 2011

1. What is it like growing up as a mafia princess? Can you describe some of the unique challenges or privileges you experience?

Well, we all experience privileges in some form or the other. For me, it’s like never falling prey to a handsome face. You can’t know a feeling without understanding what’s on the other side. I get what I want when it comes to material things, and I never get what I want when it comes to matters of the heart. Because in my world, the only thing a heart is good for is keeping you alive. But who knows, maybe one day I would meet a man who would make me feel differently.

2. How do you balance your family’s expectations with your own desires and aspirations?

I don’t have to do that. When I was younger my father sent me away to live in Chicago run by another Famiglia. When I got older he told me I could study, live a normal life, and I would never have to marry or be expected to do much of anything.

3. Do you believe him? Surely you can’t be naïve to believe a Mafia Princess can choose?

(Aliyana laughs) Of course I believe him. I’m my fathers daughter. He won’t lie to me about that, and besides my father isn’t exactly involved too much in the Famiglia. He is much higher in status.

4. What role? I thought he’s a member of the Catelli Familia?

He is, and he’s not. Let’s say he answers to a higher power. One that doesn’t care if his daughter marries a made-man of his choosing or not. As long as the man is made, I doubt either have a problem.

5. Are you interested in marrying a member of the Famiglia?”

I am actually – Leonardo Catelli. I saw him a few years ago. He’s young, and kind, not harsh or tainted by the sins of his father as the rest. I don’t think I would need to dig very far to hide his crimes. When I met him, I knew I would marry him.

But I haven’t told him yet, I’m still trying to figure out how. When I see him my face just flushes and I don’t know if it’s the nerves or my inexperience.

6. You are young, what 19? You still have a long way before you can be certain.

(Aliyana smiles) In the 5th State 19 is the age to marry. Most of us only wait until 18. I’m lucky to be this age and still single, won’t you say?

7. Of course, yes. But I must ask before you leave, do you have any message to the women who are marrying into your family? The ones not born into the Famiglia?

Message? Yes, sure. Ah, we are raised to be the wives of killers, and while it is us who will bare their heir, it doesn’t mean we are without our own minds. Marrying a made-man is never a simple life. You would have your ups and downs, and that will depend solely on his rank, and job in the 5th State. The highest ranks, are bit better off, and the rest are just royally screwed. You might as well just pull the trigger yourself.

Death is inevitable. You can either be the one with the gun, or the other guy pissing his pants. You choose.

This interview was conducted in 2011, just before the death or Lorenzo Catelli. Please tune in next week for Aliyana’s next interview, conducted in 2014.

So, when most Anglican men wore a wool suit, how did they smell after wearing them for several weeks? There was no such thing as dry cleaning and people bathed when they could find a bath. Watching the alienist and having olfactory questions. Yes, I know, I should have more urgent questions.

BTW, walking the isles at the local library caused me to find this book and the fifth gospel, both amazing books. #NewReads #Reading
