This week, the surname Mangione became inextricably linked with the cold-blooded killing of a health-insurance executive in New York City, when 26-year-old Luigi Mangione was charged with his murder. But for decades, the name has meant something entirely different: wealth, power, prominence, philanthropy – particularly within the Italian community of Baltimore. They’re one of, if not the, “most respected” Italian families in the area, according to Giovanna Aquia Blatterman.

A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with last week’s fatal shooting in New York City of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Luigi Mangione, 26, was taken into custody at a McDonald’s in the town of Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 280 miles (450km) west of New York City on Monday after a customer at the fast-food outlet recognised the suspect. He was found in possession of a handwritten document that indicated “motivation and mindset”, according to police.
