The Romano Family Comith!

With the drug laws enforced now more then ever and more dealers and gangs being torn asunder by drug violence and laws, a shadow hidden in the ally's has emerged. The Romano Family is an Italian Mafia orignally formed in 1945 by two young men from Sicily named Giovanni Romano and Leonardo de Luca. The family was orignally based iN gotham and ran basic vices utilizing police and political protection expanding greatly. However Don Giovanni and Leonardo saw the evil that where drugs and knowing what it would do, decided to play dead and roll over. The family went into hiding and waited for the right moment to strike after the drug trade destoryed thier rivals. This occured 2 years ago when the family rose up and took over Gotham, becoming the predomiant family in the city, by working with the police and even heroes like Batman to stop the violenece and drug crimes.

However after thier victory, Don Giovanni died of Lung Cancer and his children took over the family business. His youngest child and only son Antonio became Don of the family and is now Don Antonio Romano, while his older sister Francesca Romano has become Underboss and his second-in-command. Now with a mix of older and younger leadership the family has expanded farther and greater then before all over the country. They since become the preimier Italian family in N. America and continue to expand thier buisness while upholding the idelas of Costa Nostra and working with the police and heroes to make the lives better for people in the cities and towns they operate out of, causing some to call them a Neighborhood watch rather then a mafia. However business is still a priority and anyone who messes with business will face a punishment. In the end, "It's nothing personal it's just busniess."
