Italian here. My roots are in Sicily and Calabria. I want to start by complimenting the effort you put in this work. I want to give you all an update on the situation about the italian most powerful mafia in the present. Now in Sicily there is less presence of the old mafia but, in Calabria (another region in the south italy), we see the presence of the "n'drangheta", one of the most powerful criminal organization in Europe. The scary fact about this organization is that they don't call themselves " families ", they are families, and the new generations of these crime families are now being raised to be lawyers, accountants or bankers, in short, what scares us about the n'drangheta is that it is evolving, adapting and it is extremely difficult to stop an organization with so many branches in contexts ranging from criminal to legitimate business. There is no good mafia. The true Italians will always raise against the oppressors.

Been to sicily myself, travelled around, met people who were "in a family", and I am not denying that there are full on "professional" families there, I know that most of them are just small groups of little street gangs, doing anything from small time extortions and racketeering to big time kidnapping and political assassinations. But they frequently go to jail. The italian mafia never was as untouchable as the cosa nostra in america (at least for a few short decades of "glory")

My ex wife's grand mother in the 1930's bumped into a man on a country road while driving her horse and wagon. She described the man driving a large black sedan that he was a sharp dresser with very good looks. They chatted for a bit and she said the man was quite polite and respectful. It was later learned that the man was Al Capone who had built a small cabin in the local area. Grandma passed at 98 but she had never forgotten that charming man on a country road. LOL. Supposedly his cabin still stand and not sure who owns it and it is a very eery place, the cabin is abandoned so anyone can take a quick tour if you can find it. Cheers!

My brother was a groomsman for a college roommate who had a lot of Italian mafia men in his family. They rented out the most expensive venue in town, ordered one single long table for everyone, and catered in the city's most expensive restaurant's food for the party. Earlier in the day they went to a baseball game, and one the uncles bought the entire roll of tickets for a raffle. Funny thing was that the bride was from China, and her whole family was like stereotypical tourists who are oblivious to American culture. Half of the crowd was gaunt-faced mobsters, the other half was foreigners with no idea how an American wedding works lolol. One time the groom told my brother that he'd mentioned off-hand to one his uncles that he'd like a Northface jacket. His uncle just said "What size?", cause apparently he'd literally just hijacked a whole truckload full of them. This was 10 years ago in the midwest, so they're still definitely active.

​@ansonthomas5804 one mafia family in the Midwest was supposedly died out in 1990. My friend traveled to their city and had checked in a brand new expensive set golf clubs on his flight. The gold clubs never arrived at his destination. Upon hearing of the theft, I called a bookie I know that works the "inactive family" and he went to boss, told him about airport theft, the boss said "give me $150 and come back tomorrow afternoon." The next day he had the clubs and I was told that the inactive family controls everything that happens at the airport plus illegal gambling. Around 15 years ago, the FBI reopened investigations into the family the family after hearing the family was still active, but couldn't find anything to charge them with. Another southern family was declared inactive about the same time and they went into legitimate businesses becoming billionaires in the wine distributing and owning vast amounts of virgin timberlands that they lease out to hunting clubs. This family has maintained their structure of Don's, under bosses and capos and such but their illegal activities were turned over to one of the NY families.

Mafia history is absolutely interesting. In Minnesota, the Twin Cities area has an absolutely interesting history as being both a haven, and a crack down area. Mobsters who fled there from Chicago had a hell of a hay day there. It is often overlooked, but is an incredibly important area to the over arching story.

The people needed to hear this video. Perfect timing for everything and everyone around needs to hear remember history.

My grandfather was the director of finance at Columbia St. Mary's hospital on Milwaukee's upper East side in the 1970s. In that position, he once helped one of the older members of the Balistreri family pay cash, in full in one lump sum, for a surgery he needed. Generally, that was not how the hospital did business, and initially, there was a lot of balking at this, I'm told. So it was a big deal that my grandfather stepped in and personally took care of the transaction. It was all above board on my grandfather's part, btw; He was a good German Catholic farm boy who was very loyal to the nuns who ran the hospital. But there after, whenever that Balistreri family member saw my grandfather, which was moderately often as my grandfather often had lunch at a Balistreri owned restaurant (They still own restaurants in Milwaukee) near the hospital, he called my grandfather "Kenny," with great affection, and bought him lunch. My grandfather was in his mid forties at the time and hadn't gone by "Kenny" since he was a small child, but he didn't dare correct the man! Haha!

@Muhammad the Prophet first, the story was about how my grandfather, a good, honest man who was just doing his job, unintentionally became friends with a member of the crime family, and not how he saved a life, criminal or otherwise. Second, hospitals and doctors exist to save lives without judgment. Third, then and now, the Balistreri's had legitimate businesses that provided legitimate services to the people of the city. This man was not a crime boss, he was related through blood, not marriage, or simply a member of the family, organization, but blood, but otherwise we do not know that he himself ever committed any crime or murder, even indirectly. Are we to assume he is guilty just because he is related? Was Hitler's sister guilty of murder just because she was related to a murderer? But finally, to reiterate, the mission of the Catholic nuns, and therefore the hospital, was to provide treatment and care without judgement for sins; judgment was for God. My grandfather, who spent his entire career working for CHARITABLE Catholic hospitals, never for-profit hospitals, was just doing his job by handling a legitimate, albeit abnormal, transaction. He was not the doctor who performed the surgery, but even if he were, how dare you compare him to Hitler's doctor! It is not the same at all. And you're a self-righteous idiot for misunderstanding the point of the story in the first place.
