Is there a specific Diego Gambetta book you'd reccomend?

Rosalia Messina Denaro & Giusy Vitale are perfect examples. Giuseppina Pesce, sister of Ciccio Pesce & daughter of Salvatore Pesce head of an Ndrina in Rosarno was involved in clan operations before cooperating against her blood family. It's interesting in the show Good Mothers on hulu, they...

How powerful is the Sicilian Mafia in this day & age? Are they also on the decline like the American Mafia? Still very powerful, if you compare to the past, they are on decline, nothing beats the power they had in 80's , remember P2 scandal, ties with main people from Vatican Bank and so on. Af...

As always, looking forward to this article fab. B, we need another verbal bloodlines article dude!

An in depth X-ray scanner sounds next level, whats also next level is that they won't stop using that port.

I've got one, Carlo Tresca. I'm not big on politics but reading through Anthony DeStefano's book The Deadly Don I thought adding this here would be ideal. Quoting the Deadly Don, "the author of Carlo Trescas 2010 book, Nunzio Pernicone describes facts & scenarios that work against the idea ...

While not directly relevant to the OP, the names on Vito Maceo’s 1929 obituary may be interesting for anyone trying to piece together what may have been the outlines of mafia activity in Galveston in this era. Note that Rose Maceo’s wife, Francis, was a DiSpenza but her parents seem to have been fr...

If anyone has read this or is currently reading, I'd love to hear about it as there is no english version yet and I cannot read Italian nor can I copy and paste words off of kindle reader into a translator.

The original title was going to be WiseGuys

It's entirely possible that the Sicilian faction is allowing someone from the other faction have a leadership position, but only someone who is older and who will fall in line and not make any waves. A compromise of sorts, to give the other side the illusion of having any power. Yes 100% that’s why...

The last thing I would have imagined in early 2025 would be to hear about the return of the Italian American Civil Rights League. Great post, thanks Seriously came from left field. I think it’s kind of ironic that it says the Joe Colombo would’ve loved the plan of taking Sammy’s plans down. It’s li...
