He went back to Ciminna, Ciminna has its own crime family and they fall under Trabia mandamento.

Same family PRE pizza connection case?? I believe that sounds familiar

So Sicily structure is different
They have families - then mandamantos where it's like 3 bosses together - then a district boss??? Then a area boss?!?!

Capo (Family boss) → Capomandamento (3 to 7/8 Families, sometimes more, sometimes less) → Capo Province (Palermo, Trapani, Agrigento, Caltanissetta, Enea & Catania)

And they have 2 Commissions. One for Palermo and its province and one for all the provinces

And bosses aka capos families can be big or small - mostly smaller tho I believe

I believe Palermo has the bigger 100 person families with ranks

Yes, Palermo are the biggers, the power and influence are there. Trapani is next

What Cobra wrote are families that fall under Trabia mandamento.

Trapani is very powerful, remember when Matteo Messina Denaro was arrested they found out a lot of connections to masonic lodges, his father was connected to P2. Also iside 2 is from Trapani.
