I apologise for the spelling.
Yes I know what it means.
What I want to know is if each capo has his own consiglere, or if only the boss normally has a consiglere.
Like in the first season of the Sopranos the guidebooks describe Silvio as Tony's consiglere, even though Tony is still only a capo.
Does this mean that Raymond Curto, Jimmy Alteri
and Larry Boy Barese had their own consiglere's too?
I was never clear if Mickey Palmice was Junior's consiglere or just a soldier.
Some use he was as anything!
Thanks a lot.
Only the Boss of the Family has a Consigliere. No one else. In the first season of Sopranos, Jackie Aprile was the boss. However he is struck with cancer and appoints Tony acting Boss. So even though tony is a capo, he is now "acting" boss and makes Silvio his Consigliere. Later on, after Jackie Dies, in order to avoid an all out war, and hea6t from the feds, Tony makes Uncle Junior believe that he is the new Boss, while all along Tony is the one really calling the shots. As for Mikey Palmice, I don't believe that he was a consigliere, I think that he was just a soldier who played bodyguard to Uncle Junior.
