This has been a great thread, very informative and lots of good solid opinions backed with reasons to support the opinions. I've got a new opinion on the family based on the thread. It may be the smallest and youngest family with a lot of intra family turmoil in the past. Since Carmine took over and won the war with Orena they don't seem to get the credit as I think they deserve as a stable family. I also think they're not as much a modern crime family but more "Old School" with more gangsters than criminals. I'm betting the other families wouldn't want to start with them since I doubt they have the balls the Columbo's do. Just my opinion.
