Historically a mandamento
was the part of Italian
territory
under the jurisdiction of a "pretore"
which is a kind of magistrate.
These divisions were abolished in 1923.
Within
Cosa Nostra a
mandamento is a district of generally three
geographically contiguous
Mafia families in
Sicily. A
capo mandamento
representing the mandamento is usually entitled to be part of the
provincial
Mafia
Commission.
