Whats the difference between la cosa nostra and the calabrian mafia?

[@oraziograzziano5932]

@@33sosa85 Cosa nostra is the mafia Organisation of Sicily and the Ndrangheta is the mafia of the region Calabria. There are three official mafias 1. Cosa nostra (Sicily) 2. Ndrangheta (calabria) 3. Camorra (Region, Campania) but more expanded in Napoli.

[@flavio7180]

@@33sosa85 They are two different organizations from two different regions in Italy. Cosa Nostra is made of Sicilians (and it's not officially called Cosa Nostra, just Mafia, which is a word that possibly has Arabic origins from the times when Arabs invaded Sicily) while the Calabrian one is made of criminals from Calabria and it's called Ndrangheta. The organizations are not that different in terms of structure, probably the differences between the two mob groups are that typically Sicilian mobsters tend to snitch more often, and they are typically more flashy and less silent, but that's a generalisation.

[@davidelliott1594]

I studied organized crime while in college. Michael Franzese is obviously a legend in American mob history as one of its biggest moneymakers and has a wealth of knowledge about his own history, business and associations, but as he clearly stated in this interview, he is not mob historian as far as it's roots in Italy. First, in Italy (Sicily to be precise) they also referred to and still refer to their association as "cosa nostra (our thing)." Cosa nostra was not actually the "name" of the organization. It actually had no "official" name. Cosa nostra was a descriptive way for members to describe what they were a part of, like saying "we are a part of the same thing" The term "La Cosa Nostra" was actually created by the FBI and deciminated by the American media, and therefore became the popular way to refer to Italian mob organizations. To add "La" is grammatically incorrect, that is like saying "The our thing." Another popular misconception is that Cosa Nostra is not all one organization, even in Southern Italy. They are various criminal organizations of Sicilian descent that share a similar structure and code of conduct that sometimes cooperate with each other and sometimes rival each other. The cooperation of these groups and the bosses of these groups basically form a quasi-government for criminals, that provides many of the same functions that a government does in a mainstream society...taxes, penalties, demarcation of lands and territories, conflict resolutions, etc. Also, Cosa Nostra in Italy, is almost strictly composed of Sicilians, not simply Italians. Other major Italian criminal organizations like the Camorra are derived from Naples. The current most powerful criminal organization in Italy is the N'Drangheta, which comes from Calabria. The American Cosa Nostra was and is much different than its Sicilian predecessors. First, when it originated in the states, it originated like a Pan-Italian descent organization, composed of criminals members who derived from Sicily, Naples, Calabria and other parts of Italy as well as American born members. It wasn't composed of strictly Sicilians like in Italy. These are just a few of the differences.

[@trinihammer]

actually the term la cosa nostra was first used by JOE VALACHI. in fact everything that we know about the organisation of the mafia [la cosa nostra] in the USA was first revealed to us by JOE VALACHI. not the FBI,

The word mafia (Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger"

[@UseYourDestruction91]

Willa Ince Yeah this is correct if you read Joe Bonnanos man of honour it’s touched upon. He explains in Sicily they would use it to describe horses e.g. they would race each other on horses to see which horse was more mafiosa.

[@federicoamici2661]

Yes it is,i’m italian and i can really conferm this

[@jeandellagjianni3548]

its Italian but it has nothing to to do with Italians ( latins) the word ma fia was brought to southern Italy by the Arbereshe people of Italy. who settled in Sicliy around and Palermo to Agrigento and in Calabria around the 15th century.. when southern Italy was under Spanish rule. Kingdom of Aragon , later kingdom of the two Sicilies and later Kingdom of Naples etc... Arbereshe people settled all over that area including Naples. Arbereshe people came from Albania and Greece due to infighting and Ottoman occupation of their areas. they brought their codes of honour with them , BESA and the KANUN. ma fial ma fia comes from the Albanian word mbaj fjalën which in the 15th century was probably written differently as Albanian had not been standatized and in Italy the word was latinized to what we have today, in Italian vocabulary the M and the J have no significance. so mbaj fjalën--- becomes maj fial .. mq fia etc...and it means .. keep word .. keep honour.. your word is your honour. .mbaj fjalën--- in english keep word. and before you strnzi start mouthing off about Albanians this and that.. ARBEREHSE ARE ITALIAN, WE ARE THE SOUTHERN ITALIAN WHO SEE IN YOUR STEREOTYPE HOLLYWOOD MOVIES...we brought this shyt to southern Italy.. from our ancesteral land of Northern Albania., before known as ARBERIA. hence the word ARBER -ESHE

Yep, and they all migrated to the US in the late 1800s/early 1900s with the Mafia being the dominant group of the three. After they merged to create La Cosa Nostra, the newspapers continued using the term Mafia because they hadn't discovered the new name yet.

From what I know that’s not really accurate in Italy there are several mafia groups : Cosa nostra - Sicily Ndrangeta - Calabria region Kamora - Napoli So coda nostra was one of them And once some Sicilian guys came to the us they started a “branch” of the Sicilian mafia which is essentially independent. That’s pretty much it

[@Danishwoman1]

Camorra are less known compared to Cosa Nostra and Ndrangheta. For me there is only one organisation, Cosa Nostra. I was young, when I saw Godfather, and get the chills and goosebumps, when I saw Al Pacino and Robert de Niro as Michael Corleone - they´re were not cold - they were ICECOLD!

LCN exists in Italy, that is the sicilian Mafia which is traditionally how the mob structure is set up in the united states La Camorra is the neapolitan mafia and is more cut throat and flashy, they are a lot of disunited clans that are constantly warring Currently the strongest faction is Ndrangheta which is the Calabrese faction of the mafia which has swept up power from weakened Camorra and LCN factions who were warring. They are the most insulated crime organization and even have a level of command above Boss called La Santa, no one knows who the members of La Santa are except the Boss. In the united states during Italian immigration in the early 1900’s both camorra and LCN came over. They had a war LCN won the war, and agreed the neapolitans could join them under that banner for peace. Then later on came lucky luciano and how we understand the mafia today, that is why the mafia in the US is only known as La Cosa Nostra. Michael may not be a historian and thats fine, but he’s wrong about this tid bit of info. Mafia is also a general term for organized crime in Italy.

Chicago's new police commissioner made a statement last year I think, he said the police in Chicago have been so focused on going after the Sinaloa Cartel ( El Chapo) which made Chicago their American headquarters and the black and Latino street gangs that they will now focus their effortd back on the Mob.

Actually Cosa Nostra is the Sicilian mafia. I guess most immigrants to the US were Sicilians so they brought that origination over there too.

[@terrorgaming459]

And you better ask him about the Irishman

[@dleonardo3238]

This is wrong. Cosa Nostra was born in italy (sicily) and had the same rules his saying. Cosa Nostra started to not respect these rules in the 80's killing also women and children, but originally they didn't.

[@macadon041]

Dope!!!

[@thunderlightning9355]

Same Q&A but not as researched Q's as Valuetainment, basically the same but Micheal is fascinating interview

[@JoeyCap.]

The US Cosa Nostra (or Mafia) is an extension of the Italian mafia in Italy... basically a franchise ...and these franchises exist throughout the world, Australia, Brazil Germany so on and so forth At a certain level, they all report up to the core Italian families in Italy, the stereotype of the old man in a southern Italian village running most of the world is accurate and true

[@jahmalanderson9123]

of course Vlad is going to tell a made man how the Mafia was started in Italy. Just ask the questions bro.

[@the_one_and_only77]

I learned that in sicily there is still a major family in Palermo Sicily that is literally called "Cosa Nostra".

[@ainttellinu6491]

Michael should just take his dad on Maury, he'll figure out who the father!

[@davidbailey7579]

Like listening to him tbf. Gives a great insight but really how he’s still Alive is madness.

[@hotsauce7365]

Vlad has to be the worst interviewer of all time!

[@iteilejm]

He looks like his dad. In all the docs & old footage I never doubted it. Mike is one all round well man. It doesnt seem like he doubts Sonny is his father anyway.

[@jonathanberhe2307]

I told the Cosa Nostra not to trust the Maffia - TK Kirkland

[@Aven-Sharma1991]

The term Mafia, as I understand means to swagger and be a braggart in the Sicilian language or something like that. The actual origin of the word is rooted in Arabic “Ma’afir” meaning shelter and protection. The term is used by the Media and law enforcement to identify these recidivists. Originally the Mafia was a group of honorable people, it’s members being known as “Uono ‘D ‘Onore”

[@atreides8002]

I was one of the 5 guys that were “made” that night with Michael Franzese -TK Kirkland

[@isidrosalas5088]

Stfu

[@nastee10]

I've seen news stories about mob trails in Italy where the court rooms are constructed like military bunkers and judges and prosecutors have to be escorted to and from the courthouse in armored vehicles and shit.

[@theinformationcenter1248]

2 days later feds arrest him.

[@kendrickbrown8978]

The story Vlad is referring to on how the Mafia got it's name was from Joseph Bonanno's autobiography A Man of Honor.

[@sacramentochris3815]

*** “ La Cosa Norstra “ ***

[@cocainaforall4636]

Blvd Bully36 No it’s Nostra

[@murfdog19]

I always heard the word Mafia was an acronym for something like "death to the French the Italians cry" because it began during the war with France in the 1500s.

[@MacLKO]

La Cosa Nostra was really invented in Africa- Lord Jamar

[@Moose-iz1uo]

Was that a skip on the editing? 3:24

[@ThaDonTone]

Vlad and Angela YEE always know somebody lol

[@samuelmmmk181]

No, the word MAFIA is a anagram I think its called. The bride who had been assaulted shouted "Morte ala francia" -death to france to which was added italia Anela -Italy cries. From the first letter of each word the word MAFIA was created.

[@terrorgaming459]

It started over lemon trees true fact

[@garad123456]

I read the start of a book about history of sicilian mafia and there was some story about how some guys didnt like some other guy selling lemons and they assassinated him. should read the whole book probably

[@robertochighine2478]

Not totally accurate. Although american and italian cosa nostra are distinct, the name "cosa nostra" applies to both. Mafia is a word used by outsiders to refer to the organisation.

[@pedrogoncalo9276]

[@saidufofanah2210]

After about the first generation most of the mob guys weren’t even fluent in Italian, they just knew certain sayings and words
