Cesare Mori

Italian prefect (1871-1942)

Cesare Mori (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃeːzare ˈmɔri, ˈtʃɛː-]; 22 December 1871 – 5 July 1942) was a prefect (prefetto) before and during the Italian Fascism period. He is known in Italy as the "Iron Prefect" (Prefetto di Ferro) because of his iron-fisted campaigns against the Sicilian Mafia in the second half of the 1920s. The 1977 film I Am the Law, directed by Pasquale Squitieri, is about his fight against the Mafia when he was prefect in Sicily.
