He thought he'd escaped the clutches of detectives after nearly two decades on the run - but eagle-eyed cops managed to track him down.
Gammino, 60, led a quiet life in Spain, where he set up a fruit and vegetable shop under an assumed name, reports the Telegraph.
However, detectives were on the trail and were able to confirm his whereabouts using images on Google Maps.
A photo of the perpetrator available on the tool's Street View feature shows him outside a grocery store in the town of Galapagar, north of Madrid.
The store is called El Huerto de Manu. Since he moved to Spain, Gammino has changed his name to Manuel.
Detectives' suspicions that the man in the picture was Gammino grew when they investigated a nearby restaurant called Manu's Kitchen.
Gammino was part of a mafia clan from Agrigento, Sicily, and was convicted of several crimes, including murder and drug trafficking.
He was listed by the Italian Ministry of the Interior as one of the country's most wanted fugitives.
The bandit escaped from prison in Rome in 2002 and disappeared without a trace. His arrest is the result of a two-year operation carried out by Italian detectives.
