The Rosmini clan was a protagonist in the Second 'Ndrangheta war (1985–1991), which grouped all the 'ndrine in the city of Reggio Calabria into either one of two opposing factions: the Condello, Imerti, Serraino and Rosmini clans on one side, and the De Stefano 'ndrina, Tegano, Libri and Latella clans on the other.{{in lang|it}} Gratteri & Nicaso, Fratelli di Sangue, pp. 65-68
Arrest and convictions
Rosmini was arrested on 4 December 1990, and received a life sentence and an additional 15-year sentence for murder and Mafia association. In 1998, he received a life sentence for ordering the killing in 1989 of the Christian Democrat politician Lodovico Ligato, former head of the Italian State Railways. Ligato demanded a 10 percent bribe on public work contracts, jeopardizing agreements already reached among a so-called "business committee" of local politicians and 'Ndrangheta groups.[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/italian-politicians-implicated-in-mafia-murder-1562074.html Italian politicians implicated in Mafia murder], The Independent, December 7, 1992 In March 2001, he received another life sentence.{{in lang|it}} [http://www.repubblica.it/online/cronaca/matacena/matacena/matacena.html Mafia, Matacena (Fi) condannato a 5 anni], La Repubblica, March 13, 2001
