National Convention & Commission v. Assemblea Generale, Gran Consiglio & Capo dei Capi

[PolackTony]

Possible list of members of the Consiglio Supremo or their representatives during the Castellamarese War (december 1930):
1. Giuseppe Traina;
2. Vincenzo Troia;
3. Salvatore Lo Verde;
4. Salvatore Mangiaracina;
5. Nicolò Gentile;
6. Giuseppe Siragusa;
7. Gaspare Messina;
They had the authority to kill Masseria if he didn't make peace with Maranzano. It seems that someone wrote about this on reddit, the information is probably taken from Gentile's Vita Di Capomafia. Who read the original book Gentile, can confirm that it is mentioned there?

In Gentile’s account, this body was a “commissione” or panel established to bring a resolution to the war, not the Gran Consiglio. Gentile also said that Paul Ricca/Capone believed that Gentile was the only one faithfully carrying out his duties as mediator, while the other panel members were secretly doing the bidding of Maranzano (which may be why both Siragusa and LoVerde wound up getting killed, as Gentile states they were murdered for being Maranzano supporters).

Thanks! Salvatore Lo Verde was the official boss of the Chicago family? Was he previously a captain in the Palermitani in New York?

He would’ve come up in the Chicago Family. He arrived as a teenager to the US bound for Chicago in 1911. He was part of a cluster of immigrants from Brancaccio who settled in Chicago and already had relatives there. He was a Chicago, not NYC, guy, though he was presumably plugged into Palermitano political networks within the American mafia.

Here’s much more detail about LoVerde:
