Some of the most successful bosses in the Genovese family were not Sicilian. They were all southern Italian though. I think if any boss got away with decimating his enemies and taking their rackets throughout New York and most of the country, they would be the most powerful man in the country during the time of that plot to kill Gambino and Lucchese.
