How could people like Riina and Denaro ever be considered big and powerful bosses when they are really just doing the dirty work for more powerful people in their own country like you said? I think it would be hard for the Freemasons to take on the whole Sicilian mafia if they ever were at odds.
it's not like the freemasons go to the mafiosi and order them to do it, they just discuss and the mafia kills only if there is a convergence of interests and the freemasons return the favour... anyway it seems there is a super-cupola formed by both freemasons, secret services and mafia/ndrangheta/camorra/sacra corona bosses that rules the whole italy
It appears that that is the case with the super cupola. Everything I’ve read points to the Ndrangheta being the top brass in Italy right now.
