Mafia structure

Known as the Honored Society among Mafiosi, the chain of command is organized in a pyramid similar to a modern corporate structure.

1. Capo di Tutti i Capi (the "Boss of Bosses", since Bernardo "il trattore" Provenzano was caught, unknown for the Sicilian Mafia; not applicable to the American Mafia)
2. Capo di Capi Re (a title of respect given to a senior or retired member, equivalent to being a member emeritus)
3. Capo Crimini (a "Super Boss" known as a Don or "Godfather" of a crime family)
4. Capo Bastone (known as the "Underboss" is second in command to the Capo Crimini)
5. Consigliere (an advisor)
6. Caporegime or Capodecina (a captain who commands a "crew" of around ten Sgarriste or "soldiers")
7. Sgarrista or Soldati ("made" members of the Mafia who serve primarily as foot soldiers)
8. Picciotto (a low ranking member who serves as an "enforcer")
9. Giovane D'Onore (an associate member, usually someone not of Italian or Sicilian ancestry)
I'd so be consigliere
