Would the consigliere ever be in charge of a area or are they not that hands on . A example of what I mean is say new england . The boss and underboss are said to be boston guys at this time. Is it possible the consigliere is a providence guy and he is responsible for running that area??
The traditional idea of the consigliere is, of course, an older, semi-retired guy who simply advises the boss from time to time and really doesn't have any other role or executive power aside from perhaps helping to officiate at making ceremonies or attending high level meetings. But it seems, especially in more recent times, that consiglieri are more "hands on" than that. They oversee certain operations and/or territories.
As for the Patriarca family, the boss position has gone back and forth between the Boston and Providence factions down through the years. Until recently, Manocchio was the boss in Providence, while DiNunzio was the underboss in Boston. Now it seems both positions are in Boston. Nobody has been positively identified as the consigliere of that family for several years now. They may not even be using one.
