Does it have to be on the lips AND does that always mean that you are, MARKED for death by this action?

I thought I vaguely remember Genovese doing this to someone but not sure.


Thanks


Scarfo Sr. who envied the charisma of Salvie Testa within the family, first when salvie asked if he could leave the daughter of chickie Merlino, just a step from the upcoming wedding, Scarfo said that was okay, that they were young, then instigated a chickie against salvie saying it was an insult that he had done to his daughter, so Merlin asked permission to kill him, Scarfo gave the okay and Chuckie gave to Salvie the kiss of death.This was said by Leonetti in mafiaprince.

How was born the kiss of death ?
No one knows for sure, except that it is a typical Sicilian tradition
And Genovese gave to Valachi the kiss of death and Valachi know that he's dead and flip.
