Here is a photo of his brother Dr. Corradino Mineo:

Of course no way to know if there's any family resemblance.

I've only seen death scene photos.

Is there even a legitimate photo of Al Mineo? I dont think there is, Salvatore D'Aquila is another one.

Is there anything explicitly linking Mineo to the Colombo Family? Or is it just an assumption that due to the timeline and meetings, that is the only family he could have been boss of? Or that there was another Palermo family that ultimately merged with D'Aquila?
There is nothing from 1913 that definitively links him to the future Colombos aside from him heading a separate Family. Nothing at all is known about the make-up of the Family he headed back then. There are some references later though that suggest he associated with future Colombo figures.

It's speculation but I'd consider it informed speculation.

Can someone unsticky this? There is already a stickied post for my blog and episodes so don't need this one taking up space. Thanks.

I'm not sure if Clemente explicitly said D'Aquila was capo in 1912 (maybe Rick and Angelo can confirm) but it does appear to be around this time and the 1913 war looks to have been a response to D'Aquila's newfound power.
In Mar of 1912, there was a meeting between the groups and something big happened. It's not described but Clemente made some reference to the Terranovas "breaking off" from the DiGaetanos. A week later, DiGaetano formally steps down as Boss and Schiro replaces him. 3 weeks later in April, D'Aquila called a meeting of the groups and Lo Monte, Schiro and Mineo are mentioned. It appears the NY leadership met at the end of each month (or at least they did in this period of major changeover). Given all four of these names are first mentioned as bosses around the same thing leads me to believe that first meeting in Mar that DiGaetano presided over the election of new bosses and then once settled, stepped down a week later.
Mineo was based in Brooklyn as well. Do you think it's possible that Clemente could have been referring to Mineo's group separating from the Morellos instead of DiGaetano? With the Secret Service agent misunderstanding what Clemente was referring to and trying to clarify to his own boss, based on what he knew, who was the head of the Brooklyn group?
Likely not because Clemente didn't mention Mineo in that passage, only the Terranovas and DiGaetano. Mineo was on Oak Street in Greenpoint whereas DiGaetano and the Bonannos were further east in Williamsburg. Oak Street was smack dead in what was "South Brooklyn" which was Palermitan Gambino territory.
Just as a correction, Greenpoint is not at all “South Brooklyn”. South Brooklyn is from Boerum Hill down to Sunset Park, so called because this was the southern part of the old city of Brooklyn (south of Downtown Brooklyn), prior to the amalgamation of NYC in 1898. Greenpoint and Williamsburg were North Brooklyn.

Yep, exactly. Same thing happened with the Pittsburgh Family where LaRocca was taken down and made acting boss for a period then re-recognized as official boss after a period. The DeCavalcantes too after Amari was taken down and Delmore was acting for a year and then finally recognized. They both had to answer to the Commission and I assume it was to a specific avugad (both were assigned to the Genovese normally) but I don't think that detail was mentioned.

B. wrote: Sat Jun 15, 2024 12:47 pm It is unlikely the Morello Family was officially part of the Bonanno Family but more likely answering direct to the capo dei capi in the absence of an official boss. In the Commission era when a Family did not have an official boss, especially if there was any kind you of disagreement in the Family, they had to answer directly to the Commission until any issues were settled and a new boss was elected. I assume a similar process played out earlier with the capo dei capi system.

So if that's true, the Morello Family didn't have an official boss or otherwise there were issues related to Morello's incarceration and in 1912 they were given full autonomy again and LoMonte was officially recognized.
We also have Carlo Gambino being initially appointed as boss for a probationary term of three years where he was basically under Lucchese’s representation. Like the Family being placed under a type of receivership by the Commission to steer them out of crisis and potential open conflict.

Okay. I was confused about the whole separating from the Bonannos bit if they were already separate Families.
