Here's some dates in history which you could consider.

1864 Mafia associate, Baron Turrisi Colonna's report of the 'great sect' is published

1865-70 In Uditore, near Palermo, Sicily - the first traceable group of the Cosa Nostra forms as a religious charity, the 'Tertiaries of Saint Francis', under Antonino Giammona, with the assistance of Father Rosario (chaplain of Vicaria Prison, Palermo's 'crime school'), running protection rackets among the commercial lemon groves, with the complicity of police and judiciary.
