Mafia originated from the Easter Sicilian uprising 1282. When a Palermo girl was raped by French soldiers on her wedding day, Sicily began to take revenge crazily. They attacked every Frenchman they met and put forward "Mortolla francica, Italia Anela" (Italian "it is Italy's wish to destroy France"). Mafia is the acronym of this slogan. This uprising was called "Sicilian Evening Prayer" in European history.
