To add to this; Cosa Nostra is Sicillian. Over the water, in Naples, it's "Camorra". In Puglia it's "Sacra Corona Unita". In Calabria, it's the awkward to pronounce"'Ndrangheta", who I believe are consindered to be the most dangerous, and closely aligned with the Albanian Mafia IIRC.
There are more, but those are the main active ones. Collectivley, they are Mafia type organisations.
The word Mafia itself is Sicillian in origin, and means "Swagger".
