Joey Gallo was definitely more gangster than Cosa Nostra, if you know what I mean.

Under normal circumstances, the Gallo brothers would never have become made if it wasn´t for the Family´s desperate need for young blood and the greed of some of the higher ups. According to Scarpa, there was an internal debate whether to let them in or not. I´m not sure but I can´t help to believe that Joe Magliocco was the one who eventually convinced Profaci to make them. Both Joey and Larry was soon put direct with Magliocco. This seems to suggest that the underboss was initially very fond of the brothers. No doubt that Magliocco later regreted this.
