What is it called when someone pays for protection?
The pizzo (Italian: [ˈpittso]) is protection money paid to the Mafia often in the form of a forced transfer of money, resulting from extortion. The term is derived from the Sicilian pizzu ('beak'). To let someone wet their beak (Sicilian language "fari vagnari u pizzu") is to pay protection money.
