Apart from being a member of the Camorra, Lorenzo Nuvoletto was also initiated in the Sicilian Mafia.
The Nuvolettas, and in particular Lorenzo as one of the most charismatic members of the entire organisation, were important members of the Nuova Famiglia (NF) a coalition of Camorra clans created in the 1980s to face Raffaele Cutolo's Nuova Camorra Organizzata (NCO).
