Hey,

I have some questions regarding the Decavalcante Crime Family upon which the Sopranos are partly based:

1) When would you say the peak of this family was, and how influential/respected was it at that point?

2) The Sopranos are called by the New York Family they're associated with nothing more than a "glorified crew." Would such a statement have ever been accurate of the Decavalcantes?

3) At their height, how much freedom did they have?

4) Lastly, at their height, how many made guys approximately did they have?
