Actually, Pino is Greco's nickname (also "The Shoe").

Maybe I misunderstood you, but there was more than one Greco: Michele "Il Papa - The Pope" Greco, Salvatore "Cichiteddu - Birdie" Greco, Giuseppe "Pino - The Shoe" Greco, Salvatore "The Senator" Greco, Leonardo Greco. All topfigures in Sicilian Mafia.
