Do you mean the 'real story' of the Mafia? The Mafia developed in its present form in the 19th cent. but had ancient and medieval conceptions. During ancient Rome, the republic was ruled by various families who fought for dominance, primarily the Julians, Claudians, Junians, Tullians, and later the Flavians. In fact, comparison to Rome is mentioned in the Godfather film. During the High Renaissance, the Medici family were more or less a 'Mafia-like' family in Florence, and there were other such families throughout Italy. These ideas influenced the notion of 'Cosa Nostra' in 19th-cent. Sicily.
