There may be a main area a crew is based but their territory can encompass anywhere they are regularly active.

I personally haven't seen anything. If Aiello was an acting captain reporting to Santora and Santora already had Badamo designated as his acting captain (which is confirmed), I would guess Santora was in some kind of acting administration/panel role which is why he would have two (or more) acting captains reporting to him while still being on the street.

I've found info indicating that Aiello, who is a Bronx-based member, is related to Michael Mancuso, which would likely put him with the Bronx crew(s) or at least put him with that faction. And just a note, but Salerno has been said to be related to Mancuso as well but from at least one article this doesn't seem to be an actual blood/marital relation, just a close relationship.

Also another note -- when the topic of the Mancuso/Bronx faction has come up, there is a tendency for people to assume that this faction is exclusively made up of Bronx-based members, and that because the Bonannos have a limited Bronx presence they are "weak". While the core of this group might be based around Mancuso and his friends in the Bronx, he very well could have allies in other crews. Very rarely do you see factions develop based purely around territory. Depending on what Aiello's relationship is to Santora, it seems possible that Santora is among the pro-Mancuso group.
