 In questa quinta puntata, ci immergiamo nelle vicende di due figure emblematiche: il boss Vito Genovese e Lucky Luciano. Ambientata nel contesto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'episodio svela come il tacito consenso del governo americano abbia favorito il ruolo strategico di questi personaggi nella risoluzione del conflitto in Italia.
Durante il racconto, analizzeremo nuove parole e termini legati al mondo della mafia, del contrabbando e della borsa nera, mettendo in luce il legame profondo tra storia e linguaggio. Verranno esplorati anche i riferimenti cinematografici, con un focus su film come Napoli milionaria, Ieri, oggi, domani e il film di Francesco Rosi su Lucky Luciano, che hanno saputo catturare e raccontare quell'epoca complessa.
