But maybe anyone can explain my story better cause English is not my first language..
How do you know that Mario made a mistake?
Did you know Mario Puzo personally?
What if he really intended to use "Maranzano" instead of "Masseria", and "Maranzala" instead of "Maranzano?

Correct me if I am wrong ; but, unless you knew Mario Puzo personally, and you knew what he was thinking when he wrote the book, then you can say that he made a "big mistake".
