it's an ancient Sicilian mesage.  It means Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes.

I feel bad that I don't get the appeal of this kind of stuff.

I'm actually contemplating a visit sometime this year: I have a lot of unused vacation time and a  :P friend just offered to let me stay at his place whenever I want to come visit.  Maybe something in August or September.  I'll move this to another thread when I've thought about it some more.

I always thought it was "fall and rise", but either way it's some of the best sexual symbolism this side of "Logs on the fire/Fill me with desire"

to which I must add: it's not just a "mafia movie", it's a metaphor, one of the most amazing in cinema history. And you have to see G-1 *and* G-2 for the full effect. And it's on cable at least once a month.
