As it was pointed out above, one of the possible first connections was Ricci, but by the mid 1960's his relationship with the Chicago Outfit might've been on the downfall especially with guys like Jack Cerone and Dave Yaras.
Other connections were Al capone with Luciano and theres even a nice photo of the two of them in a swiming pool together with Ciro Terranova. During the 1930's, the connection was mostly maintained between Paul Ricca, the Fischetti's and possibly Sylvester Agoglia on one side, and Luciano (untill he was imprisoned in 1936), Saverio Pollaccia (killed in 1931?), Vito Genovese (fled to Italy in 1936) and later the main connection obviously became Frank Costello. Ricca and Costello were once arrested together in a Blue Island gambling club. Lansky was also the go-between guy for the Genoveses.
During the 1960's, Tommy Eboli Eboli was the main contact between New York and Ricca or Giancana, especially during the Bonanno conflict. Also during this period, or to be exact during the early 1960's, Louis Tornabene a known Loop area bookmaker and member of the Outfit, was in connection with the Genoveses and on top of that, he also had a beef with them. Also at the same time Gus Alex had close connections with Richie Boiardo and his crew. From the 1970's, untill mid 80's Salerno might've been the main connection.
