The Castellammare were the largest faction by far. The Bonanno also had those from Racalmuto, Montelepre, Marsala, Santa Ninfa, Alcamo, and had a few from Naples and Campania before Joe Bonanno became boss. Bonanno trusted men from Sicily and more importantly those from CDG, but he did make some members who were of parents from the mainland, Rastelli parents came from Abruzzo and Campania respectively. Ruggiero may have parents from Campania.
