Giuseppe Manzello, a feared Gianolla gang gunman whose youth and ambition was attractive to the younger members of the gang, rose to some prominence at the age of 20. With the death of the Gianolla brothers Manzello began to assert himself against the older, more experienced mafiosi. This was met with opposition mainly by the Renda/Mirabile family, who were the last remaining resistance within the old Gianolla gang to the younger, more liberal members. The Renda/Mirabile family were more conservative than the newer generation of mafiosi, which meant they had more in common and could work with Vitale and his faction much more easily.
