Cosa Nostra; roughly translated, 'our thing' because the men in the nineteenth century, who were fighting to protect their familes, banding together to be a part of something bigger then themselves, claimed there was no word to describe their brotherhood. The men loyal to the Mafia knew what it meant and the men outside would never understand. At a time when the state appeared to offer no protection of the poor and weak the Mafia was seen as a hero, a 'robin hood' opperation if you will, to liberate the people of Sicillay and force the government to inforce just laws or suffer the consequences. But as the years flowed the Cosa Nostra grew in number, developed traditions, rules and rituals and matured into a force to be rekoned with. The original Scilian mafia branched out to America through emegrants and spread through Italy like wild fire. It became the defining trait for all Italians.
