:: December 2009 - Gianni Nicchi - Thought to be close to the top of the Sicilian Mafia hierarchy, he was described by police as a "young, dangerous, ambitious, pitiless killer".

On the run since 2006, he was convicted in 2008 of extortion and sentenced to 18 years in prison.

:: November 2009 - Domenico Raccuglia -  Known as "the veterinarian" for his love of animals, he was on Italy's 10 Most Wanted List and had been on the run for more than a decade.

Helicopters hovered overhead as the one of the top dogs in the Sicilian Mafia was arrested on the island's west coast.

Raccuglia had been given multiple life sentences for murder, including for killing the son of a supergrass and dissolving his body in acid.

:: November 2007 - Salvatore Lo Piccolo - Arrested after a short period where he was considered the Sicilian Mafia's new Godfather following Provenzano's arrest (below).

He was captured near Palermo after 20 years evading police.

:: April 2006 - Bernardo Provenzano - Widely considered the "boss of bosses" in the Sicilian Mafia, Italy's most wanted man was arrested after four decades on the run.

He was captured in a farmhouse near Corleone, the town made famous in the Godfather films, after police followed a delivery of clean laundry.

Provenzano was known as "The Tractor", a name he reputedly picked up because of the way he mowed down his enemies.

Police hunting the elderly crime boss had no photograph of him taken more recently than 1959.

Informers said Provenzano, who was 73 at the time, moved between farmhouses every two or three days to evade capture.

He was wanted in connection with many notorious crimes, including the 1992 killings of top anti-Mafia judges.
