In recent times, Danilo di Cassano has been said to have challenged Ace Vincente's rule and power. As friends, mercy and respect was extended over the years to keep the peace by Ace Vincente as advised by his right-hand man Rodrigo Sampha, a man formally in the military who had come home dejected from wars he that was not his to fight.
Sampha was well familiar to the rules of warfare and had skills special enough to catch the eyes of Ace Vincente. Ace, being a man of style and similar skill recruited him to make do his defenses against his enemies, both home and abroad. "What you do not see, is what is right in front of you" said Sampha, when he cut down Danilo di Cassano in the name of his master Ace Vincente. And as the war between Venice and Sicily concluded, men from Sicily moved over to Venice to swear allegiance to the undisputed king of the Italian mafia.
