yes B. under the radar family, just like traina, we hear many stories about the household names..you , Chris and some others bring out the facts that most of us on here never knew.great thanks to you guys researching. think mangano's 20 plus year run not much on his rule..kept power in a high risk job for that time.

Thank you. It was interesting to see the Riccobonos and Scalicis related to Saverio Virzi who was very likely a captain under Lupo then D'Aquila in East Village.


But all these facts fail to bring things to color. People like yourself who are able to ID people is just as amazing and more interesting. Thank you for all that you do. Salut.

Great chart. As came up in one of the recent historical threads, early NYC mafioso Francesco Megna was also a relative of this clan and he attended the early 1900s dinner welcoming Cascio Ferro to the US with Morello and the Orlando-Schiro figures. Megna was probably significant given he attended this dinner and may have been representing the Lupo family. Then the Italian LE found correspondence from a Riccobono in NYC in Cascio Ferro's home later that decade. This clan produced countless captains and other family leaders spanning generations and they go back to the beginning and up to present day, but often get overshadowed by the well-known names like the Castellanos/Gambinos. Scalise gets talked about a lot, but there is much more to his background.

Bronx -- Gaggi being close to John Riccobono makes sense, as Gaggi was a part of this clan. Records confirm the Gaggis came from Palermo and his father's mother was a Scalise, which backs up what Montiglio said about Gaggi's father being first cousins with Frank Scalise.

Another Bisacquino connection -- LCNBios shared some info with me a while back that informants reported a relation between Nino Gaggi and the Rumores. The Rumores were from Bisacquino and may have been with the Garofalo crew (which would make sense given DiLeonardo) before ending up in the same crew as their paesano Joe N. Gallo. No idea how Gaggi is related to them, or if he actually is, as his paternal heritage his from Palermo proper.
