Eboli considered first among equals. 5) Vincent Cafaro, Genovese turncoat, identified Phillip Lombardo as acting boss as early as 1960. From 1972 to 1981 Lombardo was the official boss with the following acting as frontmen Eli Zaccardi 1972 to 1974, Frank Tieri 1975 to 1980, and Tony Salerno 1981. 6) Sources believe Salerno may have been a front man for Vincent Gigante 7) Sources believe Liborio Salvatore Bellomo may have been acting boss during 1997 to 1998

However, Joe Pistone claims Rastelli succeeded Galante
COLOMBO FAMILY FOOTNOTES: 1) From 1972 to 1995, Carmine Persico was considered the Family Boss. However, he spent all but three of those years in prison. 2) Alphonse Persico is believed to be running the family since the August conviction of Andrew Russo for jury tampering
