March 1, 1913 - Giuseppe Nirta

Giuseppe Nirta (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈnirta]; March 1, 1913 in San Luca – March 19, 1995), was a historical boss of the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type organisation in Calabria. He hailed from San Luca in Calabria.

Nirta was one of the most important figures of the 'Ndrangheta. He is described as one of the senior members of the Calabrian "provincial commission". He was a member of the highest level of the clan, the "maggiore". Since the mid-1970s, according to several pentiti, members of the Nirta family, the Piromalli 'ndrina from Gioia Tauro rotated among themselves the position of capo crimine, the elected boss of the crimine, an annual meeting of the 'Ndrangheta.

He was arrested in September 1992, together with 33 others during Operation Aspromonte.
