Antonio Nino Salvo and his cousin Ignazio Salvo were two wealthy businessmen from the town of Salemi in the province of Trapani. They had close political ties to the Christian Democratic Party, particularly to the former mayor of Palermo, Salvo Lima, and Giulio Andreotti. In the Maxi Trial against the Mafia in the mid-1980s, they were convicted of membership in the Mafia. Salvo Lima arranged an unusually lucrative tax collection concession in Sicily for the Salvo cousins in exchange for their loyalty to Lima and the Andreotti faction of the DC.
