Edoardo Contini (Italian pronunciation: [edoˈardo konˈtiːni]; born July 6, 1955) is an Italian Camorra boss. He is the founder and head of the Contini clan, a Camorra clan with its central base in the Arenaccia, that also operates in the Poggioreale, Vasto, Mercato and San Carlo all'Arena suburbs of Naples.
He is known as Faccia d'Angelo ("Angel Face") and 'o Romano ("the Roman"), due to his business connections in Rome. In 2001, Contini was included on the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy and eventually captured on December 14, 2007. Prior to his arrest, he was alleged to be one of the most powerful bosses of the Camorra.[1]
