		Maranzano was one of several men from the town of Castellemmarese del Gulfo, a neighboring town to Palermo in Sicily, and soon had a large following of young men who had also come from there.
		By this time, The Castellemmarese War had claimed numerous lives across the country, especially in New York City.
		50 murders are believed attributed to the war, but it could be more, since the police were not always able to determine if a dead body was a result of the war, or if it was could be attributed to some other organized crime faction of the time.

	NJ MAFIA - Joe "The Boss" Masseria
		This started the Castellemmarese War, and as time went on Maranzano became more and more powerful, depleting Masseria's resources.
		His plan was to end the war and rid Organized Crime of the old world mentality of the Mustache Petes who spent too much time thinking of old vendettas rather than new ways to succeed in crime and bring in what would soon become the National Crime Syndicate, or "The Commission."
		With the death of Masseria the Castellemmarese War was reported finished, but it would be another few months with the death of Maranzano that would mark the overthrow of all the Mustache Petes and begin the dawning of the new age in Organized Crime.

	The New Mafia Order
		By the mid-1980s, when the new strategy was fully operational, the mafia and its allies were bidding for undisguised control of Italy, and with it, the fifth-largest industrial economy on earth.
		The strategy opened with the declaration of a war pitting the Castellemmarese and their sometime ally, the Corleone faction headed by the ruthless Toto Riina, against two enemies: other mafia clans, who for their own reasons opposed the new strategy, and the Italian state.
		Vienna Police Commissioner M. Gunter Bogl says that "part" of the war is an understatement; he is convinced that international crime syndicates are playing "the dominant role" in the Balkan catastrophe.

		After the Castellamarese War, Luciano granted Gagliano the remaining portion of the Masseria crime family, which, after his death, was handed over to Tommy Lucchese.
		At the time Masseria was the more powerful of the two Dons and there was no clear sign that Maranzano would ever top Masseria even in the coming Castellemmarese War.
		About six months into the war, Luciano had been reading the papers and talking to Lansky about the waterfronts and how worried the Naval Department was spies and German U-boats sinking U.S. boats right in the harbor.

	AKA Joe "Bananas" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In 1928, Joe the Boss began an all-out war with the Maranzano faction figuring he would easily suppress the Castellemaresses because of the sheer numbers that he had working for him.
		Castellemarese Wars and the death total across the country would end up around 50, but this number remains unclear due to the other underworld killings surrounding bootlegging and other crimes.
		On April 15, 1931, Joe the Boss Masseria was ordered killed by Lucky Luciano who had quickly jumped sides (along with Vito Genovese) after recovering from his beating at the hands of Maranzano and declaring peace with him.
