The Corleone family from The Godfather has actually far more to do with the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta than the Sicilian Mafia. If Puzo had chosen to make them a Calabrian family and placed them in Canada The Godfather would have instantly been a very realistic film.
I'll buy that. But as far as real life American mob families go, the Corleones were far more mythic.
