I can see that angle between Persico and Di Bella playing out. The Profaci's have always been a "Factioned" Family of sorts. There is so much focus on the later years that, there has been as much put into the formation and early period. Which from my general research, shows the precursors and similarities in turmoil of the first Colombo War. And some of the lesser "name value guys" like Di Bella get lost in the sauce.
Exactly. They had many powerhouse guys who maintained a "soldiers" status yet were more influential than many knew or suspected. But in truth thats the same as any borgata.
The guys with the "big names" are not necessarily the "real" powers of a family. Many times the old-timers or more savvy soldiers prop a guy up as boss when in truth he seeks counsel from those technically below him.
