Re: Guys who "seemed" made but weren't
I don’t recall Lonardo ever testifying that Ronnie Carabbia was made. Lonardo claimed, of course, that Cleveland didn’t want to approve the hit on Charlie Crab out of “respect” for Ronnie and his family, but he didn’t say that Ronnie was made (if I’m wrong, and Lonardo did in fact make this claim so...

Re: Articles dedicated to the French side of the Pizza Connection + Interview with Judge Giovanni Falcone (1988-1989)
Yeah, the Corsicans are a (partly) Gallicized Italian people, while I can certainly see the argument of the Marseillaises as a partly Italianized Southern French culture (itself a Mediterranean society in many ways closer to Catalonia and Northern Italy historically from a cultural and linguistic st...

Re: Articles dedicated to the French side of the Pizza Connection + Interview with Judge Giovanni Falcone (1988-1989)
Very cool stuff here. Regarding Mondoloni *theoretically* being made. As we know, the Corsicans are ethnically an Italian people and thus it is certainly possible that they would not be viewed the same by mafiosi as ethnic French. If history had gone slightly differently in the late 18th century, qu...

Re: Help identifying
I don’t know for a fact, but my guess is that he was probably affiliated with LA (if someone knows better, please correct me). If my info is correct, he was Peter “Tony” Albanese, born in 1939 in Los Angeles to a father from Taranto, Puglia (I believe), and a mother born in CA to parents from Partan...

Re: Chicago Outfit Places of Origin
Great find on Cammarata. Good to be able to link him to Vincenzo Cutaia, who I suspect was likely an important Chicago member until his death in 1951. I previously discussed Cutaia and some of his relatives, who were from Campofelice di Fitalia and involved in various criminal activities in Chicago ...

Re: General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground
I’m not in the know as to current guys in that area in any way myself. I go back to visit family but have lived in NYC for a long time now. People tell me that they see guys that look the part at Imperial’s, Vinnie’s, Salerno’s, etc. — and that they see people occasionally in the old HSAC as well — ...

Re: [Current] mobster’s homes
Tony Parkside Capture.PNG Looks like it may have gotten a facelift, here's the current zillow for it with some scaffolding still visible on the outside. Pretty interesting that there are no pictures of the interior, only exterior pictures. Last sold in 2017 for $5.5M too. https://www.zillow.com/hom...

Re: Boston 80s?
Yeah that is JD's blog, old time member of the forums. Waltham along with Rockford were definitely the major Aragonese colonies, not sure where else they may have ended up but offhand the only Aragonese LCN members I'm aware of were in Rockford and NE. Guys from nearby towns show up in other Famili...

Is this the Joseph Guarino who is suspected to be a Cicero crew guy? Sounds like it.

Re: General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground
The BHF is now open to guests. Anyone can come on here. I’m personally not keen to have guys’ names connected to allegations of serious criminal activity when there is nothing to substantiate this in the public record. It’s different when we’re discussing the criminal background of guys like Carpar...

I checked the search and this has been posted before it looks like, but it was new to me so I'm reposting it in case anyone missed it. It's a delightful Louis Rainone TV commercial, made by some production company called (groan) "Mobbed Up Records". Real subtle, Louie. https://www.youtube...

Re: General Chicago Outfit Info Dumping Ground
I went to the Heights last year and drove around. Never been before (given where I’m from, anything below Pershing Rd might as well be Kankakee to me lol). Drive around Hungry Hill, went to San Rocco Parish etc. Wasn’t aware that there was still a social club there. Apart from San Rocco, one would ...
