The first members of the Milwaukee Mafia originated from Italy. In this episode, Gavin discusses Santa Flavia and Prizzi.A quote from Gavin in this episode: "The mafia, as most people know, comes from Sicily.  Sicily is an Island off the coast of the southern part of Italy.  What I find interesting is that each different mafia group in the United States, whether it’s Milwaukee or New York or Chicago or Los Angeles or any major city that has one, they come from different cities in Sicily."Visit MilwaukeeMafia.com for more informationGavin's Books: https://amzn.to/3ssKOQHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Milwaukeemafia11/04/21: Audio has been re-uploaded with better quality.
