When was there a hit on Stanfa? From his suspected involvement from Bruno hit?..... I heard his Sicilian connections protected him from this AND if the triple cross story was true, Funzi probably knew that Caponigro had to involve Stanfa to make it happen.

I don't think Bruno ever put a hit on Casella, just know that the commission gave him permission to whack him, hence the "gentle don" label is born.

The other 2, have to do some homework.
