(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 18 - Italian police on Wednesday found a second hideout of Matteo Messina Denaro, the Mafia superboss caught at a Palermo cancer clinic after 30 years on the run Monday.
    The fugitive boss carved the hideout into a bunker in a house near his first hideout in an alley in Campobello di Mazara, near his home town of Castelvetrano near Trapani, police said.
    Police found the first hideout there Tuesday.
    They found designer clothes and Viagra among his personal items.
    Messina Denaro, 60, Italy's most wanted man before his sensational capture, had his first hour-long 'air' break from the tough anti-mafia 41 bis prison regime at L'Aquila Prison earlier Wednesday.
    He was said to be relaxed and smiling despite being seriously ill with cancer.
    A chemotherapy unit is being set up for him in the jail.
    Italian police say the infamous boss dubbed Diabolik for his glamorous super-villain image was helped to evade capture by a "mafia middle class" across Sicily and especially around Trapani, his power base. (ANSA).
