Doing research after watching a video on the Gothard Tunnel ceremonial opening, I checked out the history at wikipedia -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Gotthard_Massif --- and discovered that the mountains in that "massif" were named Pizzo Rotundo, Pizzo Centrale, and Piz Gannaretsch. I tried a translate which yielded nothing different in Italian. Then searched wikipedia which gave three options. One was this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzo_(extortion)

here is part of the description:

The pizzo is protection money paid to the Mafia often in the form of a forced transfer of money, resulting in extortion. The term is derived from the Sicilian pizzu ('beak'). To let someone wet their beak (Sicilian language "fari vagnari u pizzu") is to pay protection money. The practice is widespread in Southern Italy,[citation needed] not only by the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, but also by the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria and the Camorra in Campania.

Another etymological explanation of the term is "beakerful", referring to the right of an overseer to scoop from the grain being threshed by peasants.[1] Paying the pizzo might also be in kind, for example by forcing a company to put someone (often a member of a criminal organisation) on the payroll, compulsory provision of services by Mafia controlled businesses as well as subcontracting to Mafia controlled companies.[2]

Businesses that refuse to pay the pizzo might be burned down. In return, businesses receive "protection" and can enlist neighbourhood Mafiosi to cut through bureaucracy or resolve disputes with other tradesmen. Collecting the pizzo keeps the Mafia in touch with the community and allows it to "control their territory"
