Mafia is in the title for commercial reasons, but maestro Antonio Adamo actually posits a fictional sort of Masonic order for this typical erotic drama of deadly goings-on in Naples, his home turf.
Julia Taylor, Adamo's favorite gal, is in the title role, involved in nefarious activities loosely inspired by the historical Borgias clan. She's Lucretia and David Perry is Cesare to make it more obvious for us hard of hearing porn fans.
David is actually the big cheese behind everything awful that happens, giving orders that must be obeyed. Story concerns a TV news network he owns named CSN in honor of Ted Turner's outfit, and poisoner Julia goes through husbands like bath water, all to serve the needs of Perry and the secret lodge/order he belongs to. A key subplot of incest for Perry, telegraphed by the Borgias back-story, is well-handled.
The starry cast (guys with many thousands of Adult credits amassed collectively by now) includes Gabriel Montoya and Francesco Malcom as her victims, and has a beautiful supporting cast of ladies, per usual in an Adamo production. Notable among them is Bettina, the best of that rather tiny minority: Black actresses active in Euro Porn.
Some minor location visuals of Naples help broaden out the show momentarily, but nearly all the action takes place on well-decorated sets in the studio. Deal-breaker for most viewers will be AA's insistence on smashing the fourth wall not once but hundreds of times, as he has his actresses constantly stepping out of character during the seven sex scenes and staring directly at the camera, his "maturbate freely" prompting to the lonely male viewer out there in Video Land. I wasn't watching his videos a decade or so ago, but what must have turned on audiences back then is quite ridiculous now.
