was watching a show on History channelthe othernight (one of the shows about Underground/hidden parts of cities)...the episode took place in Italy and while they were filming they showed a resturaunt that was under 24hr police watch because the owner refused to pay for "protection".
AMC is doing the Godfather Marathon right now also
Very interesting things happen in America if you try to start a garbage hauling business on the east coast. 'Organized crime' is a facet of our modern society.

Dunno about Italy, but the mafioso that i have seen in the various specials on the topic were not very bright. Once you get them outside of their immediate neighborhoods where they can intimidate folks, they dont seem to do too well.
