Pupetta Maresca "the first Camorrista", so defined because she was the first female boss of the Camorra, died at the age of 86 in her home in Castellammare di Stabia (Naples).

In 1955, when she was 20, she killed Pascalone 'and Nola, the instigator of her husband's murder.

A fiction was also filmed about her, to interpret her was called Manuela Arcuri.

Maresca had appeared in a trial the last time when a letter was brought to an entrepreneur among the evidence in which she asked for a place for her son and explained that she had been ruined by repentants.

"I paid for my choices with tears and trouble." So the day after the first episode of the fiction was broadcast on Canale 5, on June 7, 2013: "The first time because the man I shot would have done the same with me. What was I supposed to do, get myself killed? I was pregnant, he was coming towards me with his arm outstretched and his gun in hand and his killers were with him. I defended myself ".

But it is the second arrest that hurt her the most: “I was arrested for talking about Cutolo, who in those days killed every day. I screamed in prison for the injustice I had suffered, four years for having said that Cutolo was supported by politics. It's true, I threatened him with death but he threatened my brothers and I had my father crying in front of my eyes. Mine was a fit of anger that I paid bitterly, I still want a caress from my mother. A caress I've never had ".
