That's a fair comparison, Sonny. But I have to believe that Maranzano was much more important at the height of his power than Montagna ever was. But it was a much different time smile.


Marazano was obviously more powerful and influential than Montagna ever was, but besides that there's a strong resemblance. Both were members of the Bonanno family who were agressively seeking to become a top boss by wiping out the competition. But in the end, their hunger for power is what got them killed.
