Philly 1982 Photo Help

Wiseguy, Frank Russo was a 10th & O guy clipped by the Turras, nothing to do with Merlino's crew.

Were the Turra's completely separate from Philly family or they were associates?

They ran the 10th and O crew, completely separate, Russo was house cleaning.

The Philly family tried to shake the Turras down in the 80s which led to problems between them also.

Be curious if Michael Micali is related to current associate Dew Micali, who was under Nicodemo and probably with Narducci now.

Dew was the one who Nic was talking to on that wiretap talking about the lions and the lambs and he said he didn't care if john gotti came to him you tell him to come down to federal street or some shit.

Yep, that was Micali. Nicodemo was telling him to be less flashy, stop driving expensive cars, etc. as it made people jealous... how there wasn't as much money going around as there used to be. When he mentioned that it didn't matter if "John Gotti's son" or "Carlo Gambino's son" came around, what he was saying was that he (Nicodemo) was a made guy so that put them all on equal ground. I would love to see 80-year-old Tommy Gambino stop by South Philly and try to mess with young Philly associates, haha.

Anyway, Micali was a great baseball player when he was young, some people thought he could have been a pro.
