Chicago Tribune Annette Nitti Profile

The guys who did the job on Greenberg were allegedly Alderisio and Nicoletti but besides that, the hit went off track a little bit, meaning the first bullet didnt stop Greenberg as he charged towards his attackers. I think Battaglia also took care of Nittos wife regarding cash and stuff

I imagined this guy Greenberg as a little bald accountant - he's charging Phil and Chucky while they are shooting at him? You gotta be tough to do that.

I hear you lol well to be around guys like Nitto, Capone or Humphreys at the time, you needed to be a tough guy lol the newspapers say that Greenberg was having dinner with his wife and daughter at the Glass Dome Hickory Pit, 2724 S. Union av. As he was leaving, he was shot by two hitmen. Greenberg suddenly staggered after the men as they fled on foot. Greenberg collapsed about 12 feet of the curb and the killers were never caught.

Other sources say that Greenberg’s murder was executed on the request made by Louis Fratto, Alderisio’s cousin and Ralph Pierce. Story goes that Pierce was sought as a threat because of the statement he made once publicly at Greenberg by saying, "We'll take care of you!'" The threat was made in 1943 at a preliminary hearing in the trial of the Hollywood extortion case. The reason was Greenberg was a government witness. Another story goes that later during a police raid on Greenberg the cops found a piece of paper with Fratto’s name on it with a number of payments meant for him.

Ironically, 2724 is a sicilian social club - Saint Joseph Mens Club. I've been to their parades frequently. I used to eat at the Hickory Pit when it was on Halstead near Comiskey and haven't had better ribs since then.

Thanks for the additional info and yeah thats quite ironic. Btw, you are completely welcome to visit my country anytime you can and ill prepare for you the best pork ribs in the world.

In addition, Frank Nitto's first "push" in the Outfit were allegedly the unions. Legend goes that after the 1920 hit on union racketeer Maurice Enright, or several years later, two of the most ambitious Torrio/Capone labor racketeers were Frank Nitto and Mike Carrozzo who in turn took over Enright's garbage union. In 1925, Carrozzo, allegedly under Capone's and Nitto's auspices, became president for the Street Sweepers and Garbage Collection Union. In fact, in the end the unions also became Nitto's demise.
