I removed the "lacking sources" designation and added the sourcing info, which was: Giuseppe Carlo Marino's book, I Padrini. I do note, in passing, that I find the demarcation of this article as "lacking sourcing" to be curious. Nearly all the articles on gangsters and mobsters have no sourcing, as do a great number of Wiki articles on many other topics. If this was a lengthy article or discussed controversial material in dispute, then detailed sourcing would be in order, as one might see in any encyclopedia. But since so many other Wiki articles have no sourcing -- as is the case for most published encyclopedias -- sourcing on short pieces is not an encyclopedic standard nor is it academically sound.

Did he die in 1943 or 1945? There seems to be a conflict. --Hooperbloob 10:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• He died in 1943. I put up the original piece with that information, but it was changed for unknown reasons. He died during the Allied bombings of Palermo. Sicily was long under Allied control by 1945. David Hoag 07:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand... the biography page which is linked here shows he died of heart failier, but here on wiki it says a bomb raid... there seems to be somthing wrong...
