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.
You know what, I am really not sure. I read somewhere that Luciano's presence in Italy had a lot to do with the very formation of the Cupola, the Sicilian Commission. I checked the unreliable Wikipedia in regards to your comment, and it says that 1965 was the first time the Cupola became known to the public, not when it began. Does anyone here have an earlier date for it's origin?
