Interesting San Vito Lo Capo had a family earlier on. Makes more sense why there was a mafia group from there in Flint and Saginaw circa 1910s-20s.
San Vito may have had a Family until later, perhaps it went the way of Bisacquino with urban changes. Or, as we've noted, Trapani keeps it very quiet and maybe it's still there unnoticed. Same for Erice (formerly Monte San Giuliano).
One observation from the 1880's and 90's is how Castellammare was connected and coordinated with other groups in the area. The kidnapping of Duke Calvino appeared to have been a multi-group operation. The murder of Costa a decade later involved people from as far as Trapani.
I didn't include an American origins because it's not warranted. Cast and the coast heavily influenced the Bonanno and Detroit Families, and your find on San Vito - Sag/Flint, but aside from that this province didn't leave its mark on the US as much as Palermo and Agrigento did.
