The Cosa Nostra clan members are suspected of having extorted money from businessmen in the construction industry and of being involved in the drugs trade.
Anti-protection money organisations on the Italian island applauded the arrests.
On the same day, Italian police carried out raids against the mafia in the cities of Caserta and Bari in southern Italy.
Last week police arrested 19 mafia members in Palermo. Businessmen accused of working with the mafia were also arrested. The charges against them included corruption in the awarding of public and private building contracts and money laundering.
