The Mafia	comment	Hard-nosed, gun-toting, take-no-prisoner Italians (and the ethno-linguistically separate Sicilians, but it's rare for gangster-centric media to make such a distinction). Part tight-knit community, part protection racket, these paesani live by a code — which just happens to include vendetta (killing anyone who wrongs La Famiglia) and omertÃ (going to your Don, rather than the cops, when you have trouble with a fellow Italian or Sicilian). Classically known as Cosa Nostra ("our thing") for the Sicilians, and also called "wiseguys". Although the power of the Mafia (at least, the American Mafia) has diminished sharply since such heights as the Prohibition Era, thanks to most of its bigger players either getting stuffed into prison or simply becoming too old to participate in the game, the mystique surrounding these organizations is so strong that they have almost replaced other established historical figures, such as knights or cowboys, as carriers of a romantic ideal. While the Italian Mafia has an obvious basis in fact, it has remained a staple of entertainment even as the Japanese Yakuza, former Soviet-bloc Bratvas, Hong Kong Triads and Latin American drug cartels lapped it for sheer scare value in the real world (they may or may not share some of the Mafia's traditional features in fiction, such as the sharp suits or the loyalty to family). Note that this trope can also include similar Italian criminal organizations such as the Neapolitan Camorra or the Calabrian Ndrangheta which are also fairly prominent at home and overseas just like the Mafia. For the laughably inept, PG-rated version, see The Family for the Whole Family. If present as a global player, the Mafia may evolve into The Syndicate. See also Mafia Princess and The Don. It is Totally Not a Criminal Front at all, as it is just a fine Italian restaurant that has two 300 pound bouncers in front. Compare The Mafiya, The Cartel, The Triads and the Tongs, Yakuza, The Irish Mob, London Gangster, the Kosher Nostra (which the Mafia sometimes employs), Gangbangers (who often fill the same role, but fit into a different archetype), White Gangbangers, The Yardies, and Generic Ethnic Crime Gang. For more information about the real organizations, see the Useful Notes page, The Mafia. Compare and contrast Criminal Found Family. For stereotypes related to Italian-American characters that are not in the Mafia, please refer to Italian-American Caricature.

The Mafia / int_aa245ded	comment	The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight by Jimmy Breslin is a satirical depiction of the turf wars within the Profaci/Colombo crime family. It was made into a 1971 feature film with Jerry Orbach playing "Kid Sally" Palumbo as a spoof character based on the real life mobster Joe "Crazy Joey" Gallo, who himself modeled his over-the-top persona after Tommy Udo, the Big Bad of Kiss of Death. Since then, the term "gang that couldn't shoot straight" has come to define any organization that ends up dysfunctional due to general incompetence.

The Mafia / int_c75df49a	comment	The episode "Mr. Monk Meets the Godfather" revolves around the Italian Mafia, just like the title would suggest. The titular godfather has requested Adrian Monk's help investigating a barbershop shooting where several mobsters were killed. The FBI in turn asks Monk to investigate the Mafia family itself while he is working for them, pointing out that it will be safer for Monk than other undercover officers because the family already knows that he's a former cop who still works with the police. It ultimately turns out that none of the rival gangs or mafia members were behind the shooting, it was a completely unconnected criminal who just happened to pick the wrong barbershop to try to stash some stolen goods. It should be noted that in real life, there was indeed a branch of the Mafia in San Francisco, but they had already become powerless and defunct by the time this episode aired.
