Thanks for breaking it down.felice wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 2:37 pm Cali's wife is the sister of Pietro Inzerillo, current gambino soldier.
Their father, Salvatore, died in 1987 in NJ due a car crash, he was a Sicilian mafia member.
Salvatore had two brother Francesco, recently died, and Tommaso (still alive and free) and a sister who is married to Joe Gambino.
Their mother is Silvana Gambino, sister of Vittoria, wife of John Gambino.
Salvatore's father was Pietro (sicilian mafia soldier later official Gambino soldier) who died in 2007 (something like that, or 2003, now I don't remember). Pietro's brothers are Salvatore (Gambino family member) Antonino (Gambino family captain killed in 1981), Francesco and Giuseppe who was the father of 5 guys including Salvatore the sicilian mafia superboss killed in 1981. Two other sons were killed during the mafia war, two others are alive and free in Palermo. One of them, Rosario, has 3 sons living in New York.
The elder Salvatore Inzerillo (great-uncle of Cali's wife) is the father of Francesco Inzerillo, who you have described as one of Cali's top men and a possible Gambino soldier, right? Or is his father someone else?
And Joe Gambino married Pietro Inzerillo's daughter, which would make both Joe and John Gambino uncles of Cali's wife through two different marriages, one on the paternal side and the other maternal side. Joe's son Tommy Gambino (who was present at the crime scene afterward, as you pointed out) would then be Cali's wife's first cousin. Is this the same as "Heavy Tommy", described by Michael DiLeonardo as a young associate he was grooming? It would be either Joe or John's son since it is not Rosario's son. Whichever son he is, I would be curious if he stayed involved in the life, as DiLeonardo said he was not cut out for it like Cali.
As Wiseguy mentioned, Cali had a wine business. Rosario's son Tommy Gambino also has a wine business. Curious if their business interests crossed paths.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for contributing... it's nice to see the known details of him in one place now that he's deceased. It wouldn't surprise me if someone tries to do a book on him given the publicity this is getting and everything he's alleged to have been involved in internationally.
