General Mob Questions

Napolitani, Calabrese and Siciliani are all considered southern Italians, separated from so-called northerners or “alto-Italiani” or “high-Italians”...... they speak different dialects, as do many Italian districts or regions, but are more like brothers.... southerners were considered from the poor “mezzo giorno” - “people of the mid-day”, not wealthy or educated as the northerners. Another reason for the “Honored Society’s” formation. So as to better their conditions.

My grandparents were from northern Italy (Venice & Bergamo). From what I understood, the North and the South do not like each other too much for a question of social rank (the north is richer). It is true also at home in France or England. I imagine that it is surely the same thing in your country in the USA .... But to come back to your question, the people of the South are rather in solidarity with each other there

The North of Italy always have the money and the power. They punish the South since hundreds of years. Even today, they put up their nose at us, like we're peasants. I hate the North.

who always had the power in italy is the masonry, the masonry formed italy in 1860 with the help of sicilian mafia/camorra/ndrangheta in the south

Does anybody know which Gambino solider from the 1980s went by the nickname “Frankie Martin”? Or were there any Gambino soldiers from the 1980s with similar names I.e. Frank Martino?

I ask because Anthony Russo testified that “Frankie Martin” was the first Gambino soldier he was on record with.

[maxiestern11]

His last name may have been “Barranca”

Good call Maxie, stupid of me not to have checked Pogo's Gambino chart first. Thanks for the help.

Doesn’t have to be totally on the 21rst century just have more than “Oh yeah by the way the mob is still alive today it’s just not what it was” which is what most docs just tag on at the end
