Lucky Luciano on the other hand had the same Sicilian mafia clan backing (the Cupola)
The Cupola was not yet created during Lucky's tenure as boss. I'm also not sure whether he had explicit backing of Sicillian clans. It seems his ties to Sicily were slim, he was very much Americanized. After his deportation he settled in Naples.
