Guaracci is the Official Don of North Jersey, although I think he is very influenced by Ralph Perna...
Different families.
Perna is Lucchese family capo, but he seems to have befriended Guaracci, therefore I am assuming Guaracci is influenced by Perna, if not the other way. Perna is obviously the most powerful of the two. Maybe he plays them, like Johnny Sack and The Sopranos?
The whole thing is how strong you are and how much power you got and how fucking mean you are—that's what makes you rise in the mob. Every day's a fucking struggle, because you don't know who's looking to knock you off, especially when you become a captain or boss. Every day, somebody's looking to dispose of you and take your position. You always got to be on your toes. Every fucking day is a scam day to keep your power and position."
