The camorra were a neapolitan, mainland gang, feared back in the old country for their brutality. In the Sopranos we're led to believe that they are a free-standing organisation (in american anyway) but have loose links to the five new york families. I think fanucci was with the 'black hand' (maranzano) which operated seperately from the mafia until they merged, bringing about the modern mafia
