Yeah they're mostly inactive. I've also read that Chicago has a couple guys out there
I also read that somewhere.

When Bernardo Provenzano was arrested, there was a rift between Salvatore Lo Piccolo & Antonino Rotolo. I believe it was reported that Rotolo had managed to create a federation of 13 families and it was also described that the ruling "Council" of Palermo in place of Provenzano was divided into "four clans". Is it known as to which families were in the alliance with Rotolo and how the territories were split up in the four clans? If anything, it sounds like the bosses created 4 larger families in Palermo at the time.

I think this is way off. 280 made members in the Sicilian faction of the Gambino family? I'd say no more than a dozen people involved in that group. You're providing an estimate membership for the entire family - and even 280 is high.

associates, not made members, most of the 3.000 sicilian mafia members in the fbi files are associates

There is no way that faction has that many members.

Yes, but I don't think the sicilian faction of the Gambinos oversees all the sicilian mafia affiliati in the United States, right?

So Nicky Black Gancio was hated by Persico & supposedly he was never going to make it to captain according to Larry Mazza. Did Larry Mazza really kill him?

I thought it was Greg Scarpa who actually pulled the trigger. Mazza was probably in the vehicle though.

"This is for Carmine." - Scarpa before he pulled the trigger.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.
