The Lupertazzi Family
A major New York crime family, wealthier, larger, and more politically connected. They’re portrayed as more “corporate” and structured, with layers of leadership and business interests that extend far beyond the street-level rackets. Their internal politics, however, are often brutal and treacherous.

The Soprano Family (DiMeo Family)
A smaller New Jersey crew with less influence and fewer resources. Tony’s crew is more personal, volatile, and tightly knit, with conflicts that arise from loyalty issues, family dynamics, and Tony’s own leadership style. They often feel overshadowed by New York and rely on negotiating power rather than dominance.
