The body of Nitto Santapaola heads for cremation in Milan: tributes 'bloom' on TikTok

The autopsy on the body of Nitto Santapaola, the Catanese boss who died last week at the clinical center of the Opera prison in Milan, was completed this morning, as already reported by La Sicilia. Now, the authorization from the Milan prosecutor's office is awaited for the return of the body to his daughter Cosima. The cremation will take place directly in Milan in the coming days. The entire process will be handled by the D'Emanuele family funeral agency from Catania, which will then take care of the transport of the urn with the ashes to Catania.

No public funeral is planned.

In recent hours, several national and local news outlets have highlighted how the death of the godfather of Cosa Nostra has triggered various “mafioso reverence” posts on TikTok to pay a final tribute to Santapaola.
