Giuseppe Parrino

[Eline2015]

So, is this correct considering him as a boss of Williamsburg borgata (1930-1931)? Probably after Schiro demoted?

No. Masseria backed Parrino, but the members elected Maranzano.

I think, as capo dei capi installed a boss, it’s more official, than voting between members

Like pinzolo in Lucchese

[Antiliar]

Pinzolo was probably voted in to be boss. The faction loyal to Reina (Gagliano-Lucchese) was a rival faction that allied with Maranzano. So Parrino was not like Pinzolo because Parrino was not elected by a majority of members.

Hm, first time to hear that. I think, that masseria just installed him, and this the reason, besides killing Reina, of opposition of Gagliano-Lucchese faction. About Parrino, so Vito Bonventre was a likely candidate to a boss position after Schiro’s demoting, and after his killing by Masseria, Joe Boss installed Parrino, who was neutral?
