This is very true. Southern Italians in general dominated the composition of the mafia in America. I believe The Godfather put more of an emphasis on Sicilians being in the mafia specifically. While there were many Sicilians, there were many Neapolitans, Calabrese(certain parts of calabria in particular seem to be very similar to Sicily due to proximity as the two regions almost border one another) and so on.
