furion read Chris Christie's article in the thread on this forum (Mafia Forum) titled 1983 Profaci Family article. Toward the end of the article it mentions about the Piancone brothers and their company Roma Food Enterprises. The reason they would appear in an article about the Profaci's is because members of the Profaci family (not Colombo family but actual Profaci's) worked for and were affiliated with the company. After checking out the article you should have a better idea.
I read the article,thanks Cacuzza.
furio if the article intrigued you about the Piancones do a web search using these terms: Roma Food Distributors, Roma Food Enterprises, Piancone Pizza Palace, Louis Piancone and Michael Piancone. All of these terms appeared in reports by various American investigative agencies over the years primarily during the 1970's and 1908's when law enforcement was looking into the connection between organized crime and the food (primarily pizza) industry. And then some of the names pop up again during the Pizza Connection investigation. You can locate come of these reports on the web in pdf format. It's an interesting subject. Roma Food was the supplier of all of the Mimmo's Pizzeria's in and around Philadelphia area. The principal of Mimmo's was one (or maybe both) of the Mannino brothers. The name Mimmo was that of the son (a small boy child at the time) of one of the Mannino brothers. Piancone Pizza Palace was set up to bring undocumented guys form Italy (mainly Sicily) to work in them by day and to do other things by night and as needed. At the time they were preferred because they were unknown by the American law enforcement. They were ghosts completely unknown. They were also preferred because they obeyed authority without question and were known to be violent. They were also less ostentatious than their American counterpart. They had the ability to be satisfied with living a low key more humble existence without complaining. They weren't show offs. They were brought into the U.S. through Canada with the help of Carlo Gambino. It wouldn't surprise me if the Piancone's either knew or made the acquaintance of Buscetta in the course of their travel back in the day. That whole world seemed to overlap and become intertwined over the decades between the 1950's to the late 1980's. The same players and names keep entering in and then stepping off stage and then reappearing again at a later time. Over and over again. It's fascinating.
