| - Their Soldato Bobby Marcolini was the first to fall, literally, being thrown off of the West Side Highway overpass bridge while extorting a debtor. In 2010-11, the Caporegimes Michael Costa, Ronnie Tosca, and Mario DeBellis were all killed, and back in the First Cuneo-Corleone War of 2010, their shops were cut off and they lost Dino de Martini, and Artie Maranzano paid the Corleones protection money instead after Sonny Corleone's takeover of power. The Cuneos then participated in his murder, leading to the end of the war, with Vito Corleone promising that he would not break the truce that ended the war. Don Cuneo kept to the peace, but his men chiselled on Corleone shops and took back most of their territory and added to it. Charlie Trapani, a Capo in their family, eliminated their mole in the Corleones, Marty Malone, and also killed their Underboss and Lawyer, causing trouble with the Cuneos. In late 2011, after months of "peace", the Corleones eliminated the Cuneos by killing Don Cuneo inside of a hotel and took over his shops afterwards, as well as bombing their mansion and robbing their Marseilles City train yards. Cuneo's son and successor Carmin Cuneo was friendlier to the Corleones and the Cuneos became allies with them, sharing their casinos in Las Vegas. However, in 2013, Don Cuneo and ten other of his men in Vatican City were killed in an assassination, orchestrated by Corleone traitor Joey Zasa of the Clemenza Crew, and in return Zasa was killed. The Cuneos are now currently based in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Miami and now Don Garnet leads them with an alliance of Montana Gang.
- The Family that controlled upper New York State, that arranged smuggling of Italian immigrants from Canada, all upstate gambling and exercised veto power on state licensing of racing tracks, was headed by Carmine Cuneo. This was a completely disarming man with the face of a jolly round peasant baker, whose legitimate activity was one of the big milk companies. Cuneo was one of those men who loved children and carried a pocket full of sweets in the hopes of being able to please one of his many grandchildren or the small offspring of his associates. He was one of the few Dons who had never been arrested and whose true activities had never been suspected. So much so that he has served on civic committees and had been voted as “Businessman of the Year for the State of New York” by the Chamber of Commerce. This was due to the Cuneos cutting the tongues out of anyone who suggested that anything other than milk was stored in their warehouses. The Cuneos are masters of the weapon trade and take great pride in the old-established rackets they run throughout Hell’s Kitchen. Don Cuneo also deals in smuggled cigars from his restaurants and venues. In their territory of dusty tenements, they maintain a monopoly on the small-time gambling and prostitution here, though their gun running and black market contacts provide the income majority for Cuneo. Their kingdom is a desperate hole, a depressing collection of back-streets, doss houses, slums and dirty alleys. Burned-out warehouses, shells of businesses, and shady hotels all jostle for position. Due to the close communities and poor living arrangements, the Cuneo Family has developed a sense of fierce pride and honour, defending those under them with bravery and skill. They see themselves as ‘ancient warrior princes of Sicily’. Don Cuneo and his associates have a reputation for honesty and are trusted by the other Families because of their neutrality and professionalism in business and warfare. However, they are no pushovers, as many have learned, and will relentlessly pursue those that cross them. Cuneo gangsters are fighters who are combative, skilled, honourable, deadly, and neutral, but relentless when scorned. Boss: Don Carmine Cuneo Activities: Upper State gambling, gun running, cigar trading, some prostitution, smuggling immigrants through Canada, conspiracy, racing track licence control, milk distribution, loansharking, protection rackets, robbery, fencing and track racing.
