The Lupertazzi crime family is definitely based on the Gambino’s. All of the dissension and back biting for control. Remember we didn’t know for sure what the Genovese administration really looked like until the early 21st century! On another note I’ve always wondered if Carmine clipped someone to get his button or was it simply because of nepotism?
I doubt he would have ever been involved in the heavy work. They did a great job portraying him as someone who got what he got through his father only. Him and his wet t shirt contest and scaffolding contracts lol.
