Gambino 1980 Hierarchy

[bronx]

Correct B.

[HairyKnuckles]

I´ve moved Fat Andy Ruggiano on the chart (from Caiazza to Fatico).

[HairyKnuckles]

I changed Philip Loscalzo´s YOB to 1915. I confused him with another Philip LoScalzo (b 1912) who was living in Tampa, Florida.

[Angelo Santino]

I might want to revive this project. I was in touch with someone who asked me to put this together and then he'd correct it but it petered out. There are other people I can ask although their time as amici nos was after 1980, still very knowledgable sources on that era if not more so.

So getting back into this, there was a discrepancy regarding the Gambino crew count in 1980, the original post-

Note that there are 27 (correction-28-cc) listed skippers which is not on par with what the Gambino Family usually had (25). It´s possible, I guess, that the Family had 27 skippers at this particular time. It could also mean that two of the captains listed above are incorrectly listed. JOE GAMBINO (who had legal troubles at the time), FRANKIE D`POLITO (made a skipper later???), NICK MELILLO (only acting captain???, but seems unlikely), JOE CORRAO (made skipper later???) and ANTONIO INZERILLO may be 5 of the captains listed above who perhaps should not be there. INZERILLO being a captain comes from poster Felice and his info is usually pretty accurate. No official info on INZERILLO though. INZERILLO is the individual who was murdered in 1981.

Ok. Me and math...

I found out that Joe Corrao was definitely a skipper in 1980. The strongest candidate to rule out is Joe Gambino.

Wasn't Tommy Gambino under Joe Gambino or am I thinking of the wrong JG?

And separate subject, doesn't matter much now since we're dealing with organizational but have the Castellano and Dellacroce factions ever been finalized? I looked over the thread on it and while Castellano's ally capos are suggested, I see only the Fatico crew constituting the Dellacroce wing. Just curious.

[HairyKnuckles]

It appears Tommy Gambino was under Joe Gambino (the one from the Bronx) and succeeded him as skipper at some point. But I´m not sure when. He wasn´t necessarily skipper right after Joe´s demotion.

The only two crews that can surely be confirmed as being in the Dellacroce faction are the ones headed by Caiazza and Fatico.

[Angelo Santino]

How about Daniel Marino? Was he formally affiliated with a specific crew?
