Italians make up about 18% of Rhode Island, which results to about 200,000 Italians in the state. The Chicago area has 500,000 Italians but that hasn't stopped the membership from going down to where it is today. It's not just about raw numbers for recruiting, but also other factors like the state of the family overall, the desire of the remaining leadership to continue recruiting, etc.
All roads lead to New York.

Yeah Baltimore had a significant Italian population (and a bustling underworld!) for most of the 20th century yet never really had any Cosa Nostra presence. I think the Gambino’s might’ve had a crew doing some work out of there at one point but nothing major. It’s a short drive from Philly, too, I’m surprised that borgata never made in roads to Baltimore. The gambling and dope rackets there were plentiful.

Thanks. What era is this- the 70s? Do you know if these two areas always had a crew attached to them?
Did Federal Hill have a crew- or was it just Ray Sr who was located there?
This was up until around the early 90s I would say. And yes there were always a couple of crews on the hill. But providence is so small that of course everyone interacted with each other. Also keep in mind that by the late 90s early 2000s, anytime there was a high profile case, the news up there liked to call everyone a captain lol. Makes good headlines. But if you let the news tell it, there were like 7 captains

Can anyone identify any in this photo? I have the obvious ones, Ray Patriarca (center), Stephen Broccoli (bottom right, partly hidden), Luigi Manocchio (top center), Louis Taglianetti (to the left of RP's chest) and Rudolph Sciarra (to the right of RP's head).
The image is too blurry to make out names, can any Providence experts help?

By the way, i've made a video about the Notorious members, former members and associates of the Patriarca Family, maybe it could help you, who knows?
PS: YES, i know that this is not the good Joseph Lombardo pic, i used the pic of Joey "The Clown" Lombardo instead of Joseph Lombardo from Patriarca, but i didn't even realize that when i was making the video, sorry :)

He took his stepfathers name. I believe his original family name was DiLorenzo or something similar. I don't quite remember

OK first of all there are Italian names specifically Northern Italian names that do not end with a vowel all the time…Such as Senter or delsanter or Desantis etc
St Laurent is French. Anyone from Johnston knows there's a part called " Frog City ". Italians and French Canadians are prevalent there.

I always thought St. Laurent was French too (the surname). From what I've always seen his surname was actually his Stepfather's and not his own and that he was 100% Italian.
If I didn't have my case coming up, I would like to come back with you gentlemen when this is over with and really lay the law down what is going on in this country.....

Yes. And it kills me to not remember what forum/website/article somewhere mentioned what his Italian family name was.

I would guess that Frank "Butsey" Morelli was the original Providence capo.
