Generally, in abundance were most of the "black hand", camorristi? Considering the depletion starting in the 1910's - 20's. Would it be wrong to think there were more Campanian's in the U.S before Sicilian's given the number of possible societies throughout the country? For example Colosimo, Mike Gallo of San Francisco, Mauro of Pittsburgh, Boiardo. I forget when migrations happened.

The downfall of the black hand was because Cosa Nostra's system worked better or because the black hand camorristi were out numbered; or were black handers divided groups between the ethnicities of Campanian's and Calabrese

I was talking to a guy whose area of ​​expertise is San Francisco, it seems that Mike Gallo was from Piedmont, the Turin area. So it seems quite unlikely that he was a Camorrist, it's probably just the press that made a shortcut "Italian criminal = Camorra"

To the archeologists:

Any teasers regarding what subject and more importantly when there might be a new show? I'm on my third rewatch of the whole series as I write this, hehe.. The Philly epidode and the latest camorra-pod being my favorites.

No plans right now. I work a minimum 50+ hours every week, weekends being mandatory in my industry, and don't get home until 7:30 PM PST. Though Rick is also part of the West Coast faction, Angelo and Tony are East Coast and Tony's professional life gets very busy as well. It can be extremely hard to coordinate especially if there is a guest on top of that, and that's just scheduling the recording and not all the other aspects that go into planning it or the other stuff going on with our lives/interests.

I would love to get back into the swing of it and plan to hopefully sooner rather than later but you get the idea.

Really happy to hear you've been able to enjoy multiple listens and I'm honored by the support.

Of course. The first viewing I'm only able to absorb an overview of it all. It's on the second and third one I'm able to really get into the detaljer.

Thanks for the answer. I get that it's time consuming as hell. Kinda wish you guys were basement dwelling, unemployed Youtubers haha..
