Viterbo Trial (1911–1912)
The Viterbo Trial, also referred to as the Cuocolo Trial, was a trial against the Camorra, a Mafia-type organisation in the region of Campania and its capital Naples in Italy.

The trial was ostensibly to prosecute those charged with the murder of the Camorra boss Gennaro Cuocolo and his wife in 1906.
