Can add DiMinno now to the list of music professionals who were LCN members: Chicago symphony member Giuseppe Priola, music teacher and high school band leader Russell Andaloro of the Bonanno Family, and possibly more. Giovanni Ruisi is a potential early Bonanno member who was a professional musician as well.

Also another fully NYC-based Pittston member. Amazing there were so many. It's not surprising John Cappello told Scafidi that Bufalino belonged to NYC considering how connected/present they were in NYC.

Not surprised Salvatore Bufalino headed the Montedoro paesani club. Harry Horrowitz recently found multiple Buffalo paesan societies too were dominated/led by LCN members and their relatives. It's a "trend" we see around the entire country in virtually every city with a mafia branch.

I added a link to your page on my "resources" list, meant to do that a while back.

The Agrigento connections in Pittston are something I've only become aware of more recently. I knew of Zicari from Siculiana in Endicott but we learned a little while back Jimmy Longo of the Tampa Family was originally from Pittston with family from Alessandria della Rocca, his father being killed in Pittston.

The Auburn group is still pretty mysterious. Here Monachino is linked to Pittston guys but the Monachinos can also be connected to the Utica Falcones and the Calleas of Buffalo.

Did you find where these Falcones are from?
