True capo from DiMeo family. Albert “Ally Boy” Barese & Ralph Sifaretto & Michel “Feech” La Manna | edit Stability, Income, Traditions. The Berese team, the Sifaretto team (more often known as the Aprila team) and the La Mann team are three important combat and economic groups (capor regimes) within the criminal DiMeo/Soprano family in the series «The Sopranos». Each of them has its own unique specifics, income and history of relationships with Tony Soprano.1. The Barese Crew team is the most numerous group in the DiMeo family, which remained exceptionally stable and loyal to the management throughout the series. Captains: Lorenzo «Larry Boy» Barese (Larry Boy). When Larry was under house arrest or prison, his cousin Albert «Ellie Boy» Berese (the same «Parrot») was in charge of the affairs. Specialization: Drug distribution, illegal phone cards, betting, pornography and fraud with waste disposal. Features: The Berese team is the «quiet giants» of the series. Unlike other gangs, they practically did not participate in internal wars for power and rarely created problems for Tony. Because of their large numbers, they had a huge weight when voting within the family, but preferred to just make money and not attract unnecessary attention to the FBI.2. The Cifaretto / Aprile Crew is the main financial engine of the family, but at the same time the most chaotic, crazy and cursed team in New Jersey. Initially, it was called the April team, but in the fourth season Tony Soprano openly calls it the «Sifaretto team» in honor of its most profitable boss. Captains: The team constantly changed leaders because of their high mortality: Jackie Aprila Sr. (died of cancer), Richie Aprila (killed by Tony’s sister), Gigi Chestone (died on the toilet from a heart attack), Ralph Sifaretto (killed by Tony), Vito Spatafore (killed by the New York mafia). Specialization: Construction business, trade unions, the most profitable project of the family - Esplanade (coastline development), as well as usury and insurance fraud. Features: The group brought Tony Soprano the most money, but its captains (especially Ralph Cifaretto and Richie Aprila) were uncontrollable sociopaths. They constantly provoked conflicts with New York and Tony himself. Almost all key gang members ended tragically.3. La Manna Crew is a small faction of the «old school» consisting of mafia veterans, which ceased to exist in the 5th season. Captain: Michele «Feech» La Manna is a legendary mafioso who was «made» in Sicily and enjoyed great respect among the older generation (including Tony’s father). Specialization: Legal landscape design business (lawn mowing), illegal underground card games (Executive Game), theft and smuggling of luxury cars. Features: The team did not last long after Feech was released from prison in 2004. Feech La Manna categorically refused to perceive Tony Soprano as a boss, constantly dared him, remembered how Tony robbed his card game in his youth, and was in conflict with Poli Galtieri because of the lawn mowing business. Realizing that a riot was brewing, Tony Soprano cunningly handed over the feature to a parole officer, throwing him stolen trucks with TVs, after which La Mann’s gang finally broke up. #thesopranos #albertbarese #ralphsifaretto #feechlamanna #fyp - @rynokko
