In 2021, Sutter discussed his fascination with the beginnings of La Cosa Nostra, explaining, “I’ve always been intrigued by how the origins of La Cosa Nostra began with Sicilian peasant families who were severely disadvantaged by wealthy landowners and aristocrats.” Sutter went on to say, “These families united to protect themselves from these abusive landowners, and by taking justice into their own hands, La Cosa Nostra emerged as the ruling power, establishing its own law and order in the region.”
