Under the reign of Big Lou Maroni, they were bitter rivals of the Falcone Crime Family, though Carmine Falcone decided to keep Lou's son Sal Maroni closer. Following the death of both Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni, the organization, under shared leadership of Pino Maroni and Umberto Maroni, was absorbed into the Falcones by Sofia Falcone.
After the deaths of Sofia, Pino, Umberto and all the others, the remnants of the family were briefly ruled by Alfrizi Esposito.
