I like Conte. He seems like a good don and is practical and about his money.
If I was Ciro, and the older folks, I'd go with Conte and say fukk Genny and Don Pietro. His shyt seems more together. And he doesn't let petty grudges get in the way of his business. After all, he forgave Ciro even after Ciro burnt down his mother's house . He did kill that kid though,even though the kid didn't know what he was doing
I think Conte saw Daniele and Massimo as loose ends at this point and since he actually wanted to go through with the coming war he had to kill them. Maybe I'm being naive but I think Conte would have let them both go away and live in secret if Massimo just came clean instead of trying to kill him in his sleep.
