Peter Casella went from soldier to underboss is a good example for the Philadelphia family.
There is some truth to that article. 07 to 09 is definitely an interesting time. Salvatore Cataudella was indeed Sarnos right hand man. You had John DiFronzo, Michael Sarno, Joseph Andriacchi, Marco D'Amico, Salvatore Delaurentis, Al Tornabene, Al Vena, Salvatore Cataudella and Peter DiFronzo were the big players. Sarno was feared, but Cataudella is known for being responsible. Cataudella had the back of most members and Sarno had a strong ally in Cataudella as well as Vena. DiFronzo was still the boss, but is was slipping his fingers already by that time. Cataudella is the current underboss for many reasons.
