I wonder WHO technically had more power?
Italy had the product connections but NY had the market.
I really wonder how a sitdown would have even went down back then?
Possibly an immediate truce that both sides need each other and neither saw their involvement as superior to the other.
Has ANY side ever tried to internationally whack a member?
At that time in history, the American mob was probably the most powerful organized crime group out there. Remember Michael’s power and wealth in Godfather 3? That’s what some of the top bosses during that time probably would’ve matched had they stayed on track with their businesses and were able to legitimize everything. But, being that Vito Genovese was in Italy it wouldn’t be easy for him to have a huge advantage in a sit down. But he had a lot more to offer them than vice versa. In terms of money and connections.
