Soldato

A Soldato (Italian for Soldier or also known as Men of Honor) is the lowest level of the formal Mafia hierarchy, both in America and in Sicily. However, a soldier is much greater in rank and prestige than any ordinary associate of the crime family. In order to become a soldier, the primary requisite for an associate is to become a made man. The promotion to the rank of soldier is a tremendous step up in the hierarchy from the associate level. The Italian term picciotto (plural picciotti) is also used to refer to lower level mafioso soldiers. However, picciotto usually indicates a younger, more inexperienced mafioso, one who has not necessarily been made. Picciotti usually perform grittier tasks or simple tasks such as beatings and robbery.
