No Consigliere.

They have a boss responsible for a certain geographical area. They have Capozona's responsible for smaller sections of that area. Then they have Soldati answering to the Capos. That looks like a pyramid to an outsider. The only way that is not a pyramid in some way is if the Soldati don't have to pay tribute to the next tier and/or the areas ruled over are so tiny that each "family" is tantamount to a street gang with limited power over themselves and each other.
