Antonio “Hot Shot” Pezzuti: If Nino was the velvet glove of the two brothers, Antonio is the firm hand of the Pezzuti organization. Antonio was always protective of Nino, since they were children, and as the older brother, he felt responsible for Nino’s life. Knowing his brother wanted a quieter life, Antonio donned (no pun intended) a more outgoing persona, compared to his little brother, and can be seen in Kansas City wearing flashy suits and a different woman on his arm, every week. Antonio is a terrible decision maker and is very impulsive; he’s also an obsessive micro manager. It’s why many of the Pezzuti family Capos defer to Nino with decisions. However, most soldiers in the family have to report to Antonio and are subject to his strict micro management and most soldiers fear for their lives as the impulsiveness of Antonio can lead to their deaths.
