The upside is as long as you're not a member of organized crime or a politician you're pretty safe. Tourists are pretty much off limits since Corsica survives and prospers on tourism.

I'm sure you're right on this. I grew up on the West Side of Chicago. We all knew the Mafia was there. There was a pizza place in my neighborhood that would sell you a pizza if you ordered one, but the pizza and the service were terrible. They let you know, they didn't want your repeat business. Their real business was the horses. You went there to place a bet. I used to ride my bike past Sam Giancana's house in Oak Park. Sam was the Chicago boss. At the time he was sharing a mistress with Jack Kennedy, the president of the USA. Every now and then a body would show up some place. Even so, no one lived in fear. As long as you had no dealings with the mob, they had no interest in you and left you alone. The dead bodies were mostly gangsters.
