 Mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main split in the Sicilian Mafia at present is between those bosses who have been convicted and are now in jail, chiefly Salvatore 'Toto' Riina and Leoluca Bagarella, the capo di tutti capi from 1993 to 1995, and those such as Bernardo Provenzano, who are on the run, or who have not been indicted.
Mafia power peaked in the United States in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s somewhat curtailed the Mafia's influence.
In the United States, the Mafia began a steep decline in the late-1970s and early 1980s due in part to laws such as the RICO Act, which made it a crime to belong to an organization that performed illegal acts, and to programs such as the witness protection program.

 Salvatore Maranzano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maranzano laid out his vision of a new gangland, structured on hierarchical lines, in which he would be the Capo di tutti capi, or the boss of all bosses, while Luciano, Bonanno, Profaci, Vincent Mangano and Thomas Gagliano would head families of their own, but owing ultimate loyalty to him.
Following Maranzano's death, his killers reorganized the Five Families and abolished the position of "capo di tutti capi." It is a myth that more than 40 of the old-order mafiosi in the United States were murdered during the same week that Maranzano died.
Salvatore Maranzano (1868-September 10, 1931) was an organized crime figure from the town of Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, and an early Mafia boss in the United States.

But by 1916, there were Camorra families in other Eastern US cities and Vollero was considered capo di tutti capi, (boss of all bosses).
"The Camorra is to Naples what the Mafia is to Sicily." Ironically, the New York branch of this secret criminal society did not receive much recognition in it’s own right, and would be relatively obscure were it not for the bitter rivalry with it's Sicilian counterpart.
The first known Camorra group in New York appeared in Brooklyn in the early 1900’s and was instigated by Neapolitan extortionist Alessandro Vollero.

Maranzano, hearing of Masseria's death, quickly became the number one boss in all of New York, but his plans were to become the Boss of all Bosses, the "Capo di tutti Capi." He called for a meeting of all the heads of families across the country to New York.
Masseria, it is well documented, more than liked to eat, in fact some called him "Chinaman" due to his bulging cheeks and squinty eyes.
It can be argued that Masseria definitely had the better talent on his side, but Maranzano was younger and smarter than Masseria and knew what it would take to win the war, he had to do two things: first win over Luciano who was Masseria's number one man; second would be to kill Masseria.

Indeed, according to some sources, members of the ruling aristocracy were also members of the 'Sect' (as the Mafia was known in the 19th century) Baron Turrisi Colonna among them, who wrote the first ever account of the organised criminality that was going on in Sicily during this time in 1864.
In a state of war, families would go to the mattresses - rent vacant apartments and have a number of soldiers sleeping on mattresses on the floor in shifts, with the others ready at the windows to fire at members of rival families.

Fredo Corleone, hapless Mafia scion, emerges here as a more central, vigorous and conflicted character than in The Godfather or even the films, as do Tom Hagen (the Corleones' adopted son and erstwhile consigliere) and Johnny Fontane, Puzo's dig at Frank Sinatra.
For example, I found the subplot about Francesca, Sonny Corleone's daughter, to be more or less a distraction and nothing more, albeit well-written and at times interesting in its own right.
