Yes however history could have been very different.
At the beginning of 1981 Stefano Bontate gave the order to eliminate Salvatore Riina. The bosses Stefano Bontate, Salvatore Inzerillo, Rosario Spatola, Nicolazzo Greco, Piddu Panno and the entire mafia "old guard" met repeatedly to organize a plan to kill Totò Riina. According to Francesco Di Carlo , the original plan consisted in Stefano Bontate and Nicola Greco killing not only Riina himself but also Michele Greco and Pino Greco known as "Scarpuzzedda" [9] . But the leader of the Corleonesi, having learned of the plan following a tip-off from Michele Greco, made the Casteldaccia boss Giuseppe "Piddu" Panno disappear on 11 March . Giuseppe Panno was an old family head from Casteldaccia , closely linked to Bontate, and an old-fashioned "man of honour" who, disgusted by the turn events and the barbarization of Cosa Nostra had taken, had refused to return to the fold Commission the position he had at the time of " cicchitteddu "; it is clear that his authoritative presence would have constituted a serious obstacle to the plan of the Corleonesi and their allies to eliminate their adversaries. In particular, in the month of March there was the murder of Giovanni Ambrogio and that of the representative of the province of Agrigento Giuseppe Settecasi, which occurred in the provincial capital on 23 March 1981.

Obviously the 2nd Mafia war in Sicily in the early 80s was a slaughter of the Palermitan families by the Corleonesi. Buscetta and a few others turned states witness against the Corleonesi but we're any of Riinas allies or associates ever gunned down by the Palermitan families at that time? There seems to be no evidence of the Palermitan even getting a shot off at any of them. Everything can be said about Riina except that she didn't know how to organize a massacre. For years he saw who was loyal to him and who was with the "old cosche", he created an army and amassed weapons. So when Bontade and the others thought they could kill him he unleashed hell, anyone who didn't side with him was killed and if he ran away his relatives were killed. Nobody had the power to try to defence and even Contorno that fled Sicily to find money and weapon for kill Riina understood that if the Bontade loyalists was killed,the other mobsters switched sides and even try to kill a Corleoneses is a suicide,the only way to damage Riina was to cooperate with the State! And use the Italian State for his revenge.
