Marangello was not involved in the Galante hit. Marangello was a Galante loyalist and recognised him as the official boss over Rastelli. When Galante went back to prison in the late-1970s, Marangello was his acting boss for a time. Marangello and Mike Sabella were suppised to be killed when Rastelli took the family back but instead they were spared and simply demoted.

Cannone was a Rastelli loyalist and was regarded as his right-hand man, so much so that when Massino was promoted to underboss he was told it was the number three position because Cannone was so trusted.

Galante declared himself the official boss in mid-1977 shortly before he inducted Massino. At that point there were those in the family who recognised Galante and those who recognised Rastelli. Massino recognised Rastelli, he had first been put on record with Rastelli, and he'd visit Rastelli in prison. Eventually, of course, Rastelli won out.
