The three italian criminal groups can be compared themselves.
But how do they individually compare to some of the individual cartels that practically run Mexico? Are there individual mafia families in the the mafia, camorra or ndrangheta that wield similar power and an excess of wealth? Or would it take the combination of the entire mafia in sicily or Camorra in Naples to equal a cartel as strong as Sinaloa?
In the decade of 1980, there were drug traffickers in Miami who operated on an extremely large scale too who had power and money that I think we only hear rumors about but rarely saw with the Italian American mafia during that same time. Almost as if they were what people believed the American mafia to be. But I do know that the Americans were making decent money with the pizza connection as well so even if they couldn’t compare to the Miami drug kingpins they were still slightly in the mix during that era.
As a side note: I think the Camorra was a lot more powerful when they had families like the Nuvolettas and Zazas at the top. Since those two fell, it seems like they are made up of street gangs and other families that have not been able to operate on the same level as them with the exception of maybe 1 or 2.
Why do yall keep saying this same shit? It's so lazy....
Just Google some families names and read some articles....
I do. There isn’t very easily accessible and in depth information on the individual crime families themselves from what I have been able to find. Not compared to the cartels at least.
Apologies my man. Didn't mean to come off jerky....
This is a little old.... I'll try and find you something more up to date....

The province of Naples controlled by the Secondigliano Alliance: the new map of the Camorra
In the latest report from the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate, the map of the clans in the province of Naples, almost all linked to the Secondigliano Alliance.
By Nico Falco
The map of the clans of the metropolitan area by areas of influence: Secondigliano Alliance (red) and linked clans (orange), autonomous (blue), Mazzarella (yellow).
If the city of Naples is substantially divided between the Secondigliano Alliance and the Mazzarella (with the clans linked to the first cartel on the outskirts and those of the second in the city centre), the map of the Camorra reconstructed by the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate (with the latest report, relating to the second half of 2021) shows a clear prevalence of the northern suburbs cartel in the province: excluding the municipalities of San Giorgio and Portici, almost all of the clans present in the metropolitan area are firmly linked to the Mallardo-Licciardi-Contini .
Among the main clans active in the province of Naples are the Mallardo of Giugliano (at the top of the Alliance) and the Moccia of Afragola , rooted and well structured in the territory and with a strong propensity to infiltrate the economic fabric, to the point of controlling entire commercial sectors through activities registered in the name of frontmen with which to launder the money coming from illicit deals. Dia underlines, regarding the two clans:
equipped with a clear entrepreneurial vocation thanks to which, together with the innumerable frontmen, they implement those procedures typical of economic-criminal cartels which evolve into only apparently "clean" entrepreneurial holding companies. These are companies that aim to infiltrate large contracts and more generally in circuits for which disbursements of public funds are envisaged with a consolidated interest in activities linked to the two major pre-pandemic emergencies, that of welcoming immigrants and that of ecological protection which moves from the waste cycle to activities linked to the ecological transition for which ad hoc funds will be provided in the so-called National Recovery and Resilience Plan.The measure of how these Camorra organizations are now privileged interlocutors of deviant fringes of local politics and public administration is reflected in the number of local authorities dissolved by the mafia or subjected to commissioner management. So much so that the Prosecutor Giovanni Melillo spoke of a "democratic emergency" regarding the phenomenon.
The clans of the western province of Naples
Areas: Pozzuoli, Quarto, Bacoli, Fusaro, Monte di Procida, Miseno, Islands?"
AVesuviano, Sn Giuseppe Vesuviano, Terzigno, San Paolo Belsito, Brusciano, San Vitaliano, Cimitile, Mariglianella, Castello di Cisterna, Pomigliano d'Arco, Cicciano, Roccarainola, Somma Vesuviana, Cercola, Massa di Somma, San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Sant' Anastasia and Pollena Trocchia.
In the Nolano area, Dia does not detect significant alterations in the criminal balance, with the Fabbrocino and Russo remaining the main clans. However, there is evidence of interference by the clans of East Naples, and in particular of Ponticelli, in the territories of Sant'Anastasia, Cercola, San Sebastiano al Vesuvio and Massa di Somma.
In San Vitaliano, Scisciano, Cicciano and Roccarainola the hegemonic clan remains that of the Russo, which enjoys the support of the Cava clan of Avellino. In San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Ottaviano, San Gennaro Vesuviano and Terzigno, illicit trafficking is the exclusive prerogative of the Fabbrocino clan; in Terzigno, in particular, the Batti group, known as the Milanesi, is significantly reduced.
In Poggiomarino the investigations have reconstructed the existence of two main groups: the Giugliano clan, an articulation of the Fabbrocino in contact with the 'ndrina Pesce-Bellocco of Gioia Tauro, and another group, also called the Giugliano clan, opposed to the first and headed by a convicted felon close to the historic Galasso clan, which is mainly active in drug trafficking with contacts both with the Albanian organized crime and with the Formicola clan of San Giovanni a Teduccio and the Batti clan of Terzigno. Third group, that of the Amoruso, which is apparently headed by a former collaborator of justice.
In Brusciano the clans identified are the Rega-Piacente, as opposed to the Palermo group. In Pomigliano d'Arco and Castello di Cisterna the Orefice and D'Ambrosio groups remain in contention for dominance. In Cicciano, recent investigations by the Carabinieri have attested to the existence of the Nino clan, operating between 2018 and 2019. In Somma Vesuviana there is the presence of the De Bernardo, D'Atri and D'Avino groups, mainly active in drug trafficking .
The clans of the southern province of Naples
Areas: San Giorgio a Cremano, Portici, Ercolano, San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Torre del Greco, Torre Annunziata, Boscoreale, Boscotrecase, Pompeii, Castellammare di Stabia, Sant'Antonio Abate, Pimonte, Agerola, Sorrento Peninsula, Casola di Napoli and Lettere .
The Mazzarella clan would have extended its influence in the immediate southern province, in San Giorgio a Cremano through the allied D'Amico-Luongo group of Ponticelli and in Portici, where the historical clan is that of the Vollaro, linked to the Secondigliano Alliance. In San Giorgio a Cremano the Attanasio-Troia clan, linked to the Vollaro, is still active.
In Pollena Trocchia the Dia records a revival of the historic Arlistico-Terracciano clan. Two opposing criminal groups operate in Ercolano, the Ascione-Papale and the Birra-Iacomino; the first group is also influential in Torre del Greco, where the Falanga clan is weakened by the detention of the leaders.
The situation of Torre Annunziata is more complex, where, alongside the historic Gionta clan (the Valentini), there are the Gallo-Cavalieri and their offshoot of the Gallo-Pisielli, in addition to the new recruits of the so-called Fourth System, based in the Penniniello Park, all young and linked by family ties both to members of the Gallo-Knights and to affiliates of the Gionta clan killed in internal purges.
In Castellammare di Stabia the disarticulation of the Cesarano clan favored the formation of a new criminal group which, Dia reports, would have tried to conquer the areas of the northern area by extorting traders and entrepreneurial activities; Despite the numerous arrests, the D'Alessandro clan is still operational, with a stronghold in the Scanzano district and mainly active in drug trafficking and extortion, as well as having acquired monopolistic management of the funeral sector. Finally, there are some satellite groups in the area, such as the Di Somma, the Vitale and the Learned (the latter linked to the D'Alessandro but independent in their drug dealing in the Savorito district).
In Boscotrecase the main clan is that of the Gallo-Limelli-Vangone, while in Boscoreale, and in particular in the so-called Piano Napoli, there are various criminal groups, some with links to the Fourth System.
The Cesarano clan, the so-called "Ponte Persica clan", operates in Pompeii, with branches in the northern part of Castellammare and in the neighboring province of Salerno thanks to the support of other criminal organizations, such as that of the Pecoraro-Renna, and to links with the Mallardos and the Powder.
