"The Sopranos" television series is a truly legendary work that changed its viewers' perception of TV shows…And, of course, changed people's perception of the American Mafia.
Before that, the standard for gangster movies was "The Godfather" with its theme of family and revenge. Then it was followed by "Goodfellas", which showed a more mundane side of the Mafia lifestyle than was believed. And finally, in 1999, The Sopranos was released, at which point we saw that the drama in the gangster genre could be deeper and more versatile than in "The Godfather", and that the realism and homeliness of "Goodfellas" was not at all the standard. The Sopranos set a new bar that very few people have approached so far.

That's why this series has so many fans around the world, even so many years after its end. However, not all of them are aware that the Soprano family from the show had a real-life Mafia counterpart called the DeCavalcante family that looked a hell of a lot like it. The show's creator, David Chase, has of course denied that he wrote The Sopranos in the image of the DeCavalcantes, but the many coincidences that have been brought up by members of that Mafia family themselves point to his obvious guile.

And if you are interested to hear who might have served as prototypes of the characters in your favorite series, what these prototypes were doing and how much similarity between reality and the series was true, then meet the real "Sopranos", on the other side of the law.
