Antonio Pelle (Italian pronunciation: [anˈtɔːnjo ˈpɛlle]; March 1, 1932 – November 4, 2009), also known as Ntoni Gambazza ("Tony Bad Leg"), was a historically significant and charismatic 'Ndrangheta boss from San Luca in Calabria. He was the patriarch of the San Luca locale and the 'Ndrangheta capo crimine, the titular head of the organisation, although with little effective power.[1] He reached the rank of vangelo, at the time the highest rank in the organisation.[2]
