The Stidda (Sicilian for 'star'; pronounced [ˈstiɖːa]) is a Sicilian and Maltese Mafia-type criminal organization and criminal society centered in the central-southern part of Sicily and island of Malta.
Members are known as stiddari or stiddaroli. It is most active in the rural parts of southern Sicily and is a rival to the Cosa Nostra, originating as a dissident offshoot group of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. Some members have a star tattooed on their bodies.
