Italian American Mafia crime family based in Los Angeles, California, founded around 1900 by Joseph Ardizzone. It gained power through bootlegging during Prohibition and peaked under Jack Dragna in the 1940s-1950s. The family has since declined due to RICO prosecutions and competition from other gangs, but remains active with an estimated 15-20 made members as of 2003.
