Antonio Bardellino was Camorra, not Cosa Nostra. Although I heard that he may have had one foot in one and the other foot in the other.
Yes and no
In fact the Camorra as an organization has partly ceased to exist since at least the 1930s/1940s. People (myself included) still talk about the Camorra when talking about organized crime in Campania, but this is partly inaccurate.
It seems that the "Camorristi" of the city of Naples have abandoned ceremonies and other related things, while some clans in Campania, such as the Clan dei Casalesi, continue to do so
If we speak in terms of criminal organization, Bardellino was indeed a member of Cosa Nostra, and according to Carmine Schiavone was inducted by Rosario Riccobono in the early 1970s.
Gaspare Mutolo explained that when he was inducted in 1973, Bardellino, one of the Nuvoletta brother and an individual nicknamed "Bastimento" were present with Riccobono. And the ceremony took place in Marano di Napoli in Nuvoletta's farm
According to Carmine Schiavone, Bardellino had the right to induct new members without referring to the other Neapolitan clans, but had to keep Riccobono informed.
