    THE prized art collection of a mafia boss, confiscated by Italian police, has gone on show in Calabria in an exhibition billed as a "Victory of the State" over organised crime.

    Two paintings by Spanish great Salvador Dali feature in the collection of 125 works seized from mob businessman Gioacchino Campolo, dubbed the "King of Videopoker" after he built up a vast fortune by running tampered slot machines.
