the one mentioned on the list above...maybe the father, or uncle, of the guy im talking about?

regardless of age im gonna take a guess that in 2002 the Badamo mentioned, and Nicky Santora, belonged to the same crew. Dunno what Rabito's position was in 02 but they're all from the same area; if Rabito was on the street and running a crew in 2002 id bet both Santora and Badamo were in it.

its also kind of shocking Santora wasnt a Capo by 2002

The Vito Badamo mentioned in 2002 is the father of acting capo Vito Badamo (Jr.) The pair both originally hailed from Providence, R.I. In the 1990s both father and son were spotted at the Grand Avenue Social Club with a lot of other mobsters from various crews.

thanks for the info. they both moved from Rhode Island together, as adults, to Brooklyn and got involved with the Bonnanos? thats kinda weird lol

The father has ties to both Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, but I believe he is originally from Williamsburg. From research a while back it looks like Vito Badamo Sr.'s father was named Vito Badamo as well and came to NYC from Castellammare del Golfo. Wouldn't surprise me if their roots go back to the early Castellammarese colony in Williamsburg.

Looks like we need a 7th Family book about the Lorenzo Crime Family.
