Petrocelli had a long time rivalry with another guy in "The wild bunch" named Tony Borsellino. Eventually Petrocelli had him whacked because of some bullshit story that Borsellino was cooperating with law enforcement (he was not). But he bent the ear of Rocky Infelise (major boss back then) that Borsellino couldnt be trusted and even blamed him for skimming when in reality he himself was stealing the cash.

A real asshole even with Outfit standards and hated by many including Frank Calabrese Sr who described him as "a blowhard and a bully". He had a flamboyant behaviour and became even more unpopular in Outfit circles by coming on to the wifes of members in prison. Was eventually murdered by "the breeze" Calabrese on orders from Angelo La Pietra, boss of the Chinatown Crew/26th Street Crew.

Milano was considered part of the "old guard" and at the end of the day, if Milano didn't like it, Scalish went with whatever Milano said. In the Ohio River Valley, there were basically two factions by the 1930's, the Calabrese and the Sicilians. The Calabrese were part of the old Black Hand and had strong ties to the N'Drangheta as well as NY, Montreal and Austrailia. As the mafia was taking form and being more organized, some of the old Calabrese were held in the highest regard. While Scalish was boss, he truly wasn't independent of consulting Milano until the early 1960's when Milano was spending more and more time in Holmby Hills, CA where he had another home...if all that makes sense to you...there are deep rooted Calabrian ties in the ORV. In some parts, it still exists today.

But in this case, if Milano was the real power and Scalish just a puppet, why do people say that Danny Greene attacked the mafia only after it got weakened by Scalish's death and, had Scalish been alive, he would have smashed Greene with just one finger? I mean, Milano was more powerful and still alive when Greene started the war, but his authority doesn't seem to have impressed the Irish much, and it took quite some effort to kill him off.

Just my opinion but Cleveland were never all that strong, had a lot of earners (especially at the time Greene made a move) but not many killers. I mean they brought in Ray Ferrito and he got the job done after they'd been trying to kill him for years.

Thanks for your opinion. If you look back going back to the early 1900's, Cleveland was historically a very strong syndicate, starting with the Mayfield Road Mob, the Lonardo's and Porello's. Their strength was unions as Ohio has always had one of the strongest union bases in the country. Tony & Frank Milano along with Moe Dalitz, Sam Tucker and Morris Kleinman planted their flags in Vegas before many. In regards to Cleveland in the 1980's, I agree with you that Licavoli "made a mess" of a one strong syndicate and it crumbled. But historically, they were very strong. And Cleveland had many killers...many families had fuck ups on hits, many families missed opportunities...not just Cleveland. Leo Moceri, Angelo Lonardo, Whitey Besase, John DeMarco and Frank Brancato allegedly ordered many hits. They had hitmen all over the tri state area.

Milano died in 1978 and was semi retired by the late 60's. He spent his time setting up his sons dumb & dumber (Pete & Carmen Milano) out in L.A and by 1977, he was gravely ill and was out of the rackets. When Licavoli took over, he was seen as a buffoon. Keep in mind that John Nardi was Tony Milano's nephew and he sided with the Irishman. If Milano was still in the game, that war never would have happened.

Why do you think there would have been no war? Greene may have still tried to kill the mafia leaders including Milano, although he would have lacked Nardi's support then, but the Irish members of the gang would be still loyal to Greene, not Nardi or Milano I think.

When Milano and Scalish were strongly in charge, they let Greene earn (on his side of town). Scalish and Milano were businessmen and ALWAYS put money before violence. Especially Milano and Scalish, they did alot of business with other ethnicities besides Italians. Jack White was not the person Scalish wanted as boss, but Scalish's brother in law Maishe Rockman knew he could control Jack White whereas he would not have been in the loop if Angelo Lonardo was named successor (and should have been). Jack White was made fun of by the fellas behind his back...NO WAY Scalish chose him, it was engineered by Rockman who was always thirsty for power.
