The Messina family is likely to be based on the real-life [[wp:Bonanno crime family|Bonanno crime family]] in [[wp:New York City|New York City]] which is one of the Five Families. They share a similar history of bloody infighting and each received help from another family in the commission; The Messinas from the Gambettis and the Bonannos from the Gambettis real-life counterparts, the Gambinos. The name of the family is also a reference to one of the modern Dons of the Bonanno family; Joe Massino, while the first boss of the Messina family has a similar name; John Messina. | |||
