Colombo captain Mimi Scialo decided it was a good idea during one of his drunken stupors to taunt and mock Carlo Gambino in Garguilo´s restaurant. According to Joey Cantelupo that was the main reason he was killed a week later.

Did Italy/Sicily/Cosa Nostra have a commission in existance prior to 1931? Or did they take a page out of Lucky Luciano's book?

Did the name Cosa Nostra exist prior to the formation of the American Mafia/Cosa Nostra? I've read posts that say the term was coined by the Americans and I've read that the term was brought over from Sicily.

Thanks for your help! (Also posted this in the News From Italy thread)

There's no basis...as you know there's no 100% certain answer for the question.

If you have time to read a dissertation on the subject this article gives a compelling case as why Tony is killed:

Did David Chase say that he was not killed? Or at least that he didn't intend for him to be killed?

It always seemed to me to be less about whether he got killed that night and more about the fact that he'll always be looking over his shoulder. I don't like trying to explain the ambiguity away. If it was meant to be explained plainly then why make it ambiguous in the first place.

Well im actually not 100% sure. I was kinda exaggerating. But its the only ending that made sense imo. I remember tony was talkin to bobby about how when u get whacked u “probably dont even hear it when it happens”. So i think the screen cutting to black was implying tony just got shot, since as bobby maybe foreshadowed “you dont even hear it when it happens”. There’s some good videos out on YouTube that rly back up this theory.
