Hey, guys. Could please a write up about Jackie Cerone career before sixties?

When Joey Gags became a captain?

Not adopted, his dad died when he was a baby. He was born Christoforo Furnari in 1924 in BK to Primo Furnari and Filippa “Fannie” Indovino, both of Valguarnera Pepe, today in the province of Enna. Primo Furnari had previously lived in Rochester, NY, where there was a colony from Valguarnera, before...

Any Furnari's background?

69 if you ain't the boss or a capo. That convict inc guy says joe testa was like a real co and warden pet. Always talking to the guards for what it's worth Wow, see this got me thinking. In Australian jails, if you initiate a conversation with a screw, or even engage with them too much when you hav...

And what about this guy? He was a Neapolitan gangster in Queen, and Vito Genovese worked for him as a bodyguard/driver and, even I remember correctly, was shot.

Sigismondo Castromediano wrote that when he was in prison before Rissorgimento he was extorted by Sicilian who called himself a camorrista

Im try to made about ranks between societies

so Vito Genovese was a member of the camorra before? I've seen him mentioned as a former Camorra member on other threads. There's also a story about how he visited a Camorra member who was imprisoned but I don't know the details on that. Genovese, Frank Amato and John Volpe (future Pittsburgh guys)...

his driver-bodyguard in italy was said that Lucania was a FBI informant after his death. I dont remeber his name

The more I try to delve into this topic, the more I realize that what we consider the Camorra in the USA had nothing to do with the honorable society in Naples. The American Camorra, like the American Cosa Nostra, was a system that united gangsters from all parts of mainland Italy. Each faction of ...
