Gayfiosa?

It must be tough being a gay crime boss. All those men.

According to this piece in the Telegraph:

Antonio Ingroia, who has helped bring several bosses to justice, said: "Being gay is still a taboo for Italian society in general, let alone the Mafia, which is an archaic organisation. "These bosses have to cover their homosexuality; they're afraid because they risk being ridiculed and killed."
Mr Ingroia said that the American Mafia had "a more broad-minded attitude towards gays and so gay bosses can come out."

Perhaps Mr. Ingronia knows not the fate of Vito:

Until Carmela returns, this will have to do.
