Hollander, unlike a lot of posters, I'm okay with using a wiki as support for a claim just as long as the article is properly sourced.
The Italian Wikipedia article on the Papalia 'ndrina indicates the 'ndrina has roots in Platì. However, the Papalias in Canada who were (are?) involved in organized crime have ancestry from Delianuova, which is 1 hour and 10 minutes from Platì by car. Shortly after Johnny Papalia died, it was noted in an article or two that up till his death he had relatives and contacts in Italy--whether these relatives lived in Delianuova or moved to somewhere larger like Reggio Calabria, I don't know.
Similarly, the Musitanos in Canada who are (were?) involved in organized crime also have ancestry from Delianuova. The Italian Wikipedia article on the Musitano 'ndrina indicates the 'ndrina has roots in Platì and Delianuova, but is the latter even true?
How did you come to know that the recently murdered Angelo Musitano and his family in Canada are related to this Vincenzo Antonio Musitano and other Musitanos operating and living in northern Italy?
The guy who made the article could be mistaken about the Musitanos in Hamilton, but it's almost impossible to track down the family tree of all Musitanos (In Italy, Australia, Canada). How exactly the Papalias and Musitanos from Delianuova are connected to the ones from Platì is still unclear.
