2.) Interesting that you mentioned Big Mike Allegato, I've seen the name but didn't know much about him. I always wondered why Bonanno didn't try to get help from Sicily, this brings some clarity. The loss of a major go-between along with his constant moving around probably made that very hard.

What are your thoughts on the sicilians who came in for the Digregorio/Sciacca faction? Didn't some guys with the name Buccellato, whom had a blood family rivalry in sicily with the Bonanno/Bonventre bloodline there, come into the Family?
