The Caputo Family of Madison, WI

Somewhat of a Mafia phenomenon has to be the Cosa Nostra Family said to have existed for nearly sixty years in Madison, Wisconsin.

If in fact it was even a formally recognized borgata, and not just a satellite regime of the larger Balistrieri Family in nearby Milwaukee which has been suggested by some, the network headed by Carlo Caputo was without a doubt the smallest mafia Family to ever exist in the United States.

Carlo Caputo was born in Bagheria on the outskirts of Palermo, Sicily back on September 21, 1903. After immigrating to the United States in 1919 at the age of sixteen, he seems to have first migrated to Chicago where he was said to have quickly affiliated with the Sicilian Mafia faction of that city.
