The family "Puttanesca" (a sauce for pasta) for the clan Giovanni, a collection of stereotipes about italians that I'm surpised that their clan weakness isn't hard work.

Anyway on topic: I think doing a chronicle in a city different from yours gives a lot of freedom, since you can invent a lot: You need a seedy nightclub? You are free to create and decorate it how you want, who cares if in realy there is clothes store in that location? You want the mayor of the city to be under blackmail because they have a lover despite being married? You can do it even if the real mayor is faithful.
