New Orleans has albanians down there to matter of fact the southern italians that came to new orleans are descended from the albanians (Arbreshe). Italians came to New Orleans first I think and that is where American Cosa Nostra was founded in New Orleans. In New Orleans there was the Mafia-Camorra war like there was in New York.
Mostly from the Palermo Province. The ones from Contessa Entellina still meet every once in a while. There is still a society in New Orleans... link to their history.
