He said that he had information that Barney, while in prison, told Sonny that Chin loved Sonny for helping on that hit. I've re-read that passage a few times and the wording is a little confusing but I don't think that's what Campi is claiming. Screenshot 2024-11-23 at 14.48.44.png To me this reads as Bellomo told Franzese in prison that he (Bellomo) had been involved in the DeCicco murder. Gigante loved Bellomo because of this and made him acting boss after the murder. Franzese then told this story to other Colombo members.

Wikipedia has the unsourced claim that Ida’s parents were both form Lombardia. I had looked into this myself a while back and concluded that it was totally false. Presuming that I had the right people, which I believe I did, Jimmy Ida’s parents were both born in NYC to Southern Ital families. His paternal grandparents were from Scilla, Reggio Calabria while his maternal family, surname Quaranto, was from Matera province, Basilicata. Wikipedia has also had guys like Aniello Dellacroce and Fish Cafaro as being of Northern Ital heritage, also erroneously. Tony, an early Genovese member was named Joseph Ida. I suspect this Joseph Ida to be the more known Ida brothers´ father or possibly grand father. Do you remember the name of their father? If the old member Joseph Ida indeed was their father or grand father it makes it more unlikely that the Idas had roots in Lombardia. No early NY Mafia members, to my knowledge, had roots in the northen parts of Italy.

He grew up originally on Lower East Side, between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge which was the stomping ground of that particular Genovese crew D Urso was linked to. When did he pass? Do you happen to have an obituary?
