The Nostrade Family is a mafia family headed by Light Nostrade, and according to its head bodyguard Dalzollene, is a subordinate to the Ritz Family. The Nostrade Family was originally a minor provincial mafia family of little importance, but by shrewdly using the fortune telling ability of his daughter Neon Nostrade, Light Nostrade managed to greatly increase his position in the Mafia Community, to the point where even the Ten Dons seek his daughter's advice.
