Viterbo, a town north of Rome, is the setting here, and the picture shows the courtroom work of prosecuting members of the Camorra, the Neapolitan criminal organization. Italian authorities moved the high-profile Cuocolo trial from Naples to Viterbo in the early 1910s, partly to reduce the risk of intimidation and violence against witnesses and jurors. The George Grantham Bain News Service covered such stories for American newspapers, so the image reflects the international attention these proceedings drew. The record's title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact trial and date may be uncertain.
