Father Luigi Merola led a parish on the outskirts of Naples until the local mafia threatened his life. He then retired from active ministry, but for years he’s been a street priest, running a youth center.
Father Luigi Merola opposes the hero-worship of young criminals, the so-called "baby gangsters". In the streets of Naples there are hundreds of murals and makeshift altars that pay tribute to young Mafiosi who have been killed.
