At the moment, the origin of the word "Mafia" is unknown, however, absolutely everyone knows its meaning. For a long time, the Mafia has been scaring people, for example, the famous Sicilian "Cosa Nostra" was terrified by the local people in the nineteenth century. Then they began by taking money from the rich, handing it out to the poor, but later they began to act like real racketeers and even bandits. The police are constantly engaged in a brutal fight against crime, but the mafia not only survives, but also thrives, because everyone has heard such a thing as “family” in the criminal world. It is worth noting that they have their own traditions and famous personalities, who more than once became the main characters of the films and these are the best of them.
