New city - Italy ( coming soon )

ITALY coming soon. A new city is arriving  as a permanent city like new york in mafia wars.

Mafia players have yet not finished bangkok leaving some lucky that exploit that baht glitch to get bahts to finish last episode..But many still struggling to get that much bahts ,Dont know when all they will be able to finish.

About Italy Appears much like Las Vegas city .Zynga have started a new post on forums as Italy coming soon.

How to Find This city?
Simple as zynga love pop ups so will be informed via a pop that new city Italy is coming this October end

Or you can simple look at the travel bar at top with new button hoppin to get your attention.

Click the the travel bas and see the city Italy

Just if you have not finished Bangkok its good to leave that and try to finish Vegas..at-least all gold levels .The New city will brinf new surprises new mafia items weapons animals cars.I wonder by how much more time zynga is gonna push this game.All players inventory is getting full as if they gonna blast whole of the world.
Even the profile menu or loot page get so much time to load if you have so many items in your inventory

As said this city gonna come this October but i feel it will be out by first week of November as they already struggling to fix existing bugs.new city will add to more bugs and glitches that's good for us but not game point of view as it make unfair as who expoits good for them others just stay behind
