The Tegano clan sided with the  De Stefano clan in the Second 'Ndrangheta war, which raged from 1985 to 1991.

The Teganos were the key negotiators for the 'pax mafiosa' in Reggio Calabria in the 1990s between the Tegano, De Stefano, Libri and  Latella clans on one side and the Imerti, Serraino, Condello and Rosmini clans on the other, in which they divided their spheres of influence in Reggio Calabria.
