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 Gambetti's real-life counterparts, the Gambinos. The name of the family is also a reference of one of the old Don of the Bonnano family, Joe Massino, and have having their first boss's name; John Messna.
