Surprised not to see any mention of Yakuza (Japanese organized crime) on this website. Is there no interest?

Five myths about the mafia

By George Anastasia

The Tribeca Film Festival ended last month with screenings of “The Godfather” and “The Godfather: Part II.” The purpose was to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the first film, which pumped new life into a genre that had dominated the movie industry in the 1930s. Released at a time when the American Mafia was losing its hold on the underworld, the movies offered a romanticized version of “the life,” a version that celebrated “men of honor” and omerta. In many ways, the movies have served as training films for second- and third-generation Italian American gangsters, who moved from the urban centers of their immigrant grandparents to homogenized suburbs where Sunday dinner is served at the Olive Garden and espresso comes in four flavors at Starbucks. The movies have also reinforced several myths about the Mafia that, ironically, the actions of those in the next generations quickly dispelled.

MYTH NO. 1
The Mafia doesn’t deal drugs.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. It's not really mafia related but I'm researching someone and does anyone know if the English translation of Vito is William? I googled it but couldn't find out.

Guarino is William

From my understanding, Vito comes from Vittorio which means Victor. So Vito or Vitto is another name for Vic.

Michael Genovese always called Vic Colletti, who laundered/invested Pittsburgh LCN money, "Vito".
