1. Capo Crimini/Capo de tutti capi (super boss/boss of bosses)

2. Boss(kind of self explanatory)

3. Consigliere (trusted advisor or family counselor)

4. Capo Bastone (Underboss, second in command)

5. Contabile (financial advisor)

6. Caporegime or Capodecina (lieutenant, typically heads a faction of ten or more soldiers comprising a “crew.”)

7. Sgarrista (a foot soldier who carries out the day to day business of the family. A “made” member of the Mafia)

8. Piciotto (lower-ranking soldiers; enforcers. Also known in the streets as the “button man.”)

9. Giovane D’Honore (Mafia associate, typically a non-Sicilian or non-Italian member)

Now, I may be wrong about all of this. I think Boss of bosses is a term used by the media to identify the boss of the most powerful family in New York. I might of mixed up Underboss and Consigliere. Well, at least I tried.
