La Cosa Nostra, or "this thing of ours", is an Italian/Italian-American criminal organization that operates not just in the United States but throughout the world. In the United States we are accustomed to the Sicilian Mafia, although not all Mafiosi are of Sicilian lineage. There are many other Mafia-like Italian organizations throughout the world including regions of Italy, Australia, United Kingdom and Canada among other places. La Cosa Nostra is identified with two cities for the most part in America: New York and Chicago. Although many cities across the United States have had their own LCN Families, the strongest families came from Chicago and New York. In this section of the website all of the LCN Families are broken down via region. The Family Pages will hold information on the family as well as the chronological order of Boss, Acting Boss, Underboss, Acting Underboss, Consigliere and Acting Consigliere, and will also contain biographies of some of the more famous Capi, Soldati and others. Site still under construction (not all pages complete).
