The Marseillaise doc. Born September 6, 1939, in Vitry-sur-Seine, France, to Italian parents, Albert Bergamelli, nicknamed "Full Mouth ', was not yet of age when, for the first time, was arrested for theft and locked up in the house of correction of Salum. Released from prison after a year, he was arrested again, again for theft, and imprisoned in Lyon, where he remained a few days, having tried once his specialty evasion. Returning again to cool in 1963, had managed to escape again, to leave France and to carry out a robbery textbook in Milan, Via Montenapoleone, April 15, 1964: four cars blocked the traffic, it scensero four individuals hooded, which made ​​their way to a jewelry store; a fifth opened fire with machine guns; smashed the windows of jewelry Colombo and they took away what they could, starting with a brilliant 80 million lire. Arrested, however, with the entire band, the so-called "seven golden men," led by Joseph "Jo the Maire» Rossi said, in fact, "the Mayor of Marseilles," in 1966, Albert was finished Bergamelli obliged to stay in Modena.
Everywhere a new escape this time had settled in Salem, where he had known what would have been the love of his life, Felicia Cuozzo, who, in 1976, was captured by the Mobile of Rome, a few hours before him. In 1970, he returned to France, where he had aggregate the famous "band of Mec", with whom he scored a series of robberies, including the one glaring at the Belgian Federal Bank in Brussels. Two years later, had returned to Turin, where he was arrested for robbery, he escaped again, to arrive finally to Rome and back in a matter of serious organized crime.

It was on this scenario the cyclone that hit the 'gang of Marseilles' or' gang of three B's "from the name of the leaders: Albert Bergamelli, precisely, Jacques," Jacki "Berenguer and Maffeo" Lino "Bellicini. Tough people, who did not go for the subtle, determined to establish a virgin and fertile land the colossal tour of cocaine. The bad late Roman felt that the invasion of Marseilles was unstoppable; the war broke out, therefore, rapid and violent; This time, though, instead of switchblades, they were talking about machine guns, revolvers and shotguns, one after the other, in addition to a series of anonymous followers, also fell Maccarelli Sergio, Carlo Faiella, Hector Tabarrani and Umberto Cappellari , old boss refractory to drug trafficking.
The Marseilles, despite this, aggregated around them criminals more bold and promising of the capital, including Laudavino "Lallo the Lame" De Sanctis, who, later, would put together the "gang of the beasts", dedicated to the seizures of person, infamous, among other things, to that of the "King of coffee" Palombini John, who was killed almost immediately, without stopping, however, negotiations with family members, to convince them to give up the corpse was photographed, stored in a freezer, after 'rigged'; but Danilo 'er Mustache "Abbruciati, a former boxer with a vocation to the robbery, not yet involved, at that time, in the criminal project of Banda Magliana.
The "gang of three B's", February 21, 1975, he had linked his name to the shocking robbery at the post office square Caprettari, in Rome, which yielded a meager, but he was assassinated an agent who rushed to the spot, Joseph Marchisella; it was followed, however, real side effects, suicide Clara Calabresi, girlfriend of the slain police officer, and the murder of Claudius 'Mickey Mouse' Tigani, a petty thief who "knew too much." It was, however, with the kidnappings that the "gang of three B's" made ​​his final leap. On the evening of March 13, 1975, in car traffic being Italy, in Rome, three armed men alighted from a Alfa Romeo Giulia, invited the driver of the Fiat 132 that preceded them down and, having taken his seat in the car, reversed the direction of travel to disappear along with another passenger: Gianni Bulgari, heir to one of the most famous jewelers in the world, after a month in captivity, April 14, was released after paying a ransom billionaire.
