The Pavano crime family is the second-most powerful one of the five Cosa Nostra Commission families of Liberty City and is led by 60 year old Maria Valvona, after her husband Mario's death. The family is based mainly in Algonquin but also has some business interests in Alderney. Joe Corrola is to be Boss until dying and was in charge of the family's heroin distribution ring, Mario Venturella is the longest lasting lover of Maria and a cat-burglar based in Algonquin and Arthur Zepulla is believed to be the family Consigliere. Jimmy Pegorino looked at the Pavanos as a way of getting a seat in the Commission, so he organised a sit down with them at an old refinery, where he took Niko Bellic along to watch over the meet with a sniper rifle after he was recommended to Pegorino by Phil Bell. The sit down was a set up and the Pavanos attempted to whack Pegorino, who was saved by Niko. The Pavanos later suffered for their actions when Pegorino hired Bellic to wipe out one of their crews that was meeting at Auto Eroticar in Alderney. Goons named John and Mike are driving a black Coquette, when they followed and killed at the meeting by Niko Bellic for Pegorino.
Members
- Maria Valvona - 60 year old female don, after her husband Mario's death (she was suspected to have poisoned him, but no one knows for sure). Most of the top-ranking members are her lovers, all at least 20 and usually even 40 years younger than her.
- Arthur Zepulla - Maria's 40-year-old lover, at least in the early 90s when she paid for him to go to law school. Currently the family's consigliere.
- Joe Corrola - Maria's 38-year-old lover who was in charge of the family's heroin distribution ring before he died in 2008.
- Mario Venturella - Maria's 21-year-old lover, a cat-burglar based in Algonquin
- Vito "Dog Meat" Menotti - a top-ranking hitman for the Pavanos since the 1990s, who is now turning states against them.
Notes
The Pavano family is probably based on the Genovese crime family, one of the most powerful crime families of New York and who are also known to operate mainly in Manhattan (Algonquin) and New Jersey (Alderney).
Trivia
- One of the Pavano character models is strongly based on the character Eddie from the Quenten Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs.
- A female has never been the head of a New York mafia family. However, it was a slight trend during years of trouble for Sicilian mobs, with women like Erminia Giuliano, Giussepina Vitale, or Catena Cammarata of the Riesi family.
