I’m ranking what I consider the greatest underbosses in Mafia history – the real number‑twos in Cosa Nostra, not the Hollywood versions.
We go through 20 underbosses and one “bonus” pick, from guys like Gaspipe Casso, Neil Dellacroce, and Sammy Gravano to quiet power players who almost never made the newspapers, plus where my own father, Sonny Franzese, fits on the list. I break down what an underboss actually did, why some deserve “GOAT” status and why a few end up in the “show‑off” category.
Agree, disagree, think I left someone out? Drop your own rankings in the comments and let’s talk about it.
