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 omertà (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_6891554e | comment |
Mafia, the parlor game, which was later adapted for Western audiences as Werewolf (1997). According to its creator Dmitry Davydov, its original mafioso theme was inspired by the Italian Crime Drama La piovra (see above), which began airing in the USSR in 1986 — the same year that the game was first played in public. | |

Dead Person Impersonation | |
The Mafia / int_6d7cd3e | comment |
In "Mr. Monk is Someone Else", Monk goes on yet another undercover operation, in which he's disguised as a recently-deceased Mafia assassin named Frank DePalma (who is coincidentally an exact lookalike of him). Monk has to find out who DePalma's intended target was, and save him from getting killed by the same crime family that hired the hitman in the first place. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
The Mafia / int_8409a385 | comment |
The actual Mafia shows up in the issue "Mafia", where Diabolik enters in conflict with them during a vacation abroad and both he and Ginko (who arrived due the Mafia killing a judge friend of his) end up foiling their plans with the help of a deputy minister of the central government who is a member of another Mafia family and used Diabolik and Ginko to defeat his rivals. | |

Gangsta Rap | |
The Mafia / int_9a357759 | comment |
There exists a variation of Gangsta Rap known as Mafioso Rap. Like how gangbangers fill the same role as the Mafia under a different archetype, mafioso rap is gangsta rap romanticizing a different type of gangster. | |

As in Real Life, The Mafia has a major presence in Mick Oberon's 1930s Chicago. The series also has an Unseelie equivalent operating in the Elphame version of Chicago. | |

Mob War | |
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 Don | |
The Mafia / int_b5b4bd37 | comment |
Natasha Morgan's organization, featured in the prequel issue "I Am Diabolik", is very close to the trope, with Natasha being a female take on The Don and effectively ruling Clerville's organized crime. The issue depicts Natasha using Diabolik's help to retire, hinting that the mafia aspects of Clerville's organized crime derives from her controlling it for years. | |

This was the original gimmick of Captain Lou Albano's Tag Team the Sicilians with Tony Altimore, until the real thing got word of it and told them not to do it. | |

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. | |

We later meet the Millefiore Family, which is possibly even worse than any instance of the mafia around today, mainly because they control the world, and their leader seems wacky enough, but he's quite unpleasant… Or used to be… | |
