Italy is nowhere near Mexico, but there's some infiltration of course. You probably heard of Berlusconi, he wasn't part of the mafia but he surely had contacts in it, the leaders of his party in Sicily are still known to be in contact with the mafia. Probably the biggest difference with the past is that today the mafia has to act undercover for real, while in the past they could act easily on the street because they literally had contacts and men everywhere.
