Providence, not Boston was the center of the New England mob.

And many of those lived in a Suburb called Cranston. Many Italians right off the boat settled in Rhode island. My inlaws parents came over from the old country. They grew grapes and tomatoes in the back yard until the day they died. My father inlaws first two given names were Antonio Pisquali. He did Americanize them when he got old enough. I do not believe they were involved directly, but everyone knew who was.
