Terranova was Greensteen's rival mob leader in New York City back in the early 1970s.  He may have been related to undercover agent Vinnie Terranova and his brother Father Pete Terranova.

From John Terranova's diary

It's not their father, John Terranova, even though he got caught in the middle of a mob war with Sam Roselli and Fatty Bracata.  "Johnny Boy" (as everybody called him even though he hated it) drove a bread delivery truck for Calabria Bakery, but he wanted something more in his life to provide for his family.  (He never did find it as a club fighter with 73 bouts under his belt.)

His friends Angie and Nicky got him caught in the middle of Roselli and Bracata's rivalry.  But it's pozz'ble, just pozz'ble, that there was somebody else in his family, perhaps a cousin, who already was in the mob.  But that cousin would have been "connected up" with some other organized crime family.  That cousin finally rose through the ranks until he was running the family himself.
