That’s a great observation, I’m sure Gambino would of at least had representation during the conference. It appears that Luciano wanted back into the USA, as well as expansion and setting up business throughout the Islands.

There was another in Palermo 1957, which I believe Joe Bonanno organized.

If my memory works correctly, I believe it was the first time that the American and Southern Italian Mafiosi convened and began doing business. Maybe Gambino was at that one??
