Okay, we all know what the Sopranos is about. A high ranking mafioso who deals with the pressures from both of his families. However, ever since watching Commendatore in Season 2, I questioned if the DiMeo Familiy was even Cosa Nostra.

Let me explain. Tony is Neapolitan, right? Okay, so, so was his father. Now, his father was made, but he wasn't at all Sicilian. Now, at the time his father was working for the Dimeo Family, he would never be made considering he was of Northern Italian descent.

Another thing, the DiMeo Family, as shown in Season 2, works directly with the Neapolitan Mafia, or Camorra. And I believe that it is an breach of Commission rules to ever do so.

So, I have questioned on several occasions whether the DiMeo Family was really an American form of the Camorra, or whether it was just an inaccuracy on David Chase's part.

Does anyone know for sure, or at least have any insight into this?
