I am your host Rick Porrello, a police officer and author. In 1932 my grandfather and uncle, Cleveland mob leaders, were killed. Curiosity about my roots culminated in nine years of research and the publication of The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia. Later I wrote To Kill The Irishman: The War that Crippled the Mafia. "The Irishman" has been optioned for a movie. I conceived AmericanMafia.com to be THE top mob site. And we're well on our way. We've only been on-line a month or so and the interest has been tremendous. We've had hundreds of visitors from all over the globe - Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Finland, Norway Germany, Romania, Australia, the U.K., Canada and the United Arab Emirates, and we would like to thank our new friends all over the world for visiting! Here in the U.S. we're also making friends fast - John B. from Chicago, Charlie M. from Youngstown, Russ M. from Texas, Jim F. from Cleveland, and J.R. from New York - too many to mention. They've all become regular visitors with great suggestions and input. I thank you all.

The Mafia, more specifically the Italian-American Mafia, is a group of criminals organized into "families," and operating primarily in North America. Also known as La Cosa Nostra, at one time there were 26 families in the United States - roughly one for each major city. The Mafia "commission," composed of bosses of numerous families, mostly New York, was the overseeing authority for all of the other La Cosa Nostra families. The Mafia has its roots in Sicily, where the larger and more powerful Sicilian Mafia operates from. ...and with Prohibition came the birth and growth spurt of nationally organized crime. Newly-conceived Mafia families jockeying for power were waging battles that killed scores, frightened citizens, and gave birth to screaming headlines and grand funeral processions never before experienced in the New World. But it all began years ago and miles away.
