KEY POINTS:
NAPLES - One of Italy's most infamous mobsters has fathered a daughter more than 20 years after he was jailed for life without the right to conjugal visits.
The miracle of sorts is thanks to a legal battle that allowed Raffaele Cutolo, a former boss of the Naples Camorra, the right to father a child through artificial insemination.
"I'll die in prison. My last wish is to give my wife a child," Cutolo told the newspaper La Repubblica last year.
He married his wife, appropriately named "Immacolata" or "Immaculate", in prison in 1983, but the two never consummated the union.
Yesterday, at a Naples hospital, she was delivered of a baby girl named Denise.
Mother and daughter are healthy.
