They swore to avenge his death and three years later, in 1956, Salvatore Alfieri killed their father's murderer at the social circle of Saviano.
[1] Salvatore later was murdered in an ambush at a restaurant in Pompeii by Raffaele Cutolo's Nuova Camorra Organizzata gunmen.
The loss of his brother and father pushed Carmine into becoming the head of the clan and to gain a position of dominance in the area of Nola.
In the mid-1980s, the Alfieri clan expanded its hegemony in the province of Naples in different directions towards Pomigliano d'Arco, Agro Nocerino Sarcese along the coastline between Castellamere di Stabia and Torre Annunziata and into the Vesuvius area in the municipalities of Somma Vesuviana, Sant'Anastasia and Volla.
In 1993, after his power was undermined by the testimony of his former ally Pasquale Galasso, Carmine Alfieri himself became a pentito and went on to make devastating revelations against various Camorra clans and figures as well as various local politicians.
