Actually, don't most Americans think Italians are cosa nostra?

A romanticized notion nonetheless--the glorified mafias on the US continent have always been the Italian ones (no need to even bring in the cinematic references here, it's obvious). Even if the Chinese, Russian, and Mexican incarnations hold a true seat of power, Americans have long fascinated about the inner workings of the Italian household.
