The Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, does not have a single founder but instead evolved in the mid-19th century in Sicily. It emerged as a response to social and economic conditions, including land ownership issues and the lack of law enforcement. Key figures in its early development included notable criminals and landowners who sought to protect their interests. The organization became more structured over time, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
