I´m fairly sure Baudanza was part of the Persico faction.
He was put in a leadership role right after the war. I don´t believe Persico would have promoted him, not even as a reconciliation move, if he had been a Orena guy.

As of Calabro, he seems to have been with Gioeli at that time. He was alegedly invovled in a murder summer of 1991 with Gioeli. Gioeli switched sides sometime later. I´m not sure if Calabro also did, or if he stayed with the Orena side.


John Baudanza was with the orena faction

"Back in the early 1990s, Baudanza was a rough-and-tumble, up-and-coming Colombo associate. He and DeMartino, were on the same team of family rebels aligned with acting boss Victor (Little Vic) Orena in a bloody two-year-long losing effort to depose family boss Carmine (Junior) Persico and his choice to take over the family, his mobster son Alphonse."
