Was there ever somewhat of a rivalry between mafiosi from south Calabria and northern Calabria? Costello was from north and Anastasia was from south. I think the mustache petes might have been more accepting of Anastasia than Costello because of that due to everything south of cosenza being more identifiable with Sicily than Naples. Being Americans, Anastasia and Costello got along well.
