Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
John Sciascia - Racalmuto, Agrigento. His naturalization has his birthday as 8/12/1903. Don't know where he lived by the 1960s but earlier was living near the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn.
Joe Scalise was Frank Scalise's brother.
Joe Stassi lived in Elizabeth, NJ, and was close to the DeCavalcantes. Born in NYC, parents Giuseppe and Anna. Father from Montemaggiore Belsito, Palermo.
Accursio Marinelli's family was from Sciacca and he lived in Brooklyn. Will let you know if I find more detail.
Don't know if I saw him on your list, but an obscure Gambino member is Andrew "Andy Boston" Parrillo. On wiretap saying his family came from island of Capri.
Another confirmed Baltimore member to add is Giuseppe Tamburello. Native of Bisacquino.
Full list of members/suspected members in Baltimore:
Mario Anello
Charles Barbera
Louis Comi
Vincent "Jimmy Russo" Coronna (Bisacquino)
Frank Corbi
Joseph Corbi
Pasquale "Patsy" Corbi (died 1955)
Joseph Gigliotti (former Pittsburgh)
Gaetano LaFata (died 1965, from Palermo))
Benjamin "Benny Trotta" Magliano
Frank Malvaso
Anthony Messina (killed 1952, Vincenzo Mangano's cousin. Palermo)
Luigi "Don Luigi" Morici (Palermo)
Angelo Perrera
Giacomo "Jimmy" Romano
Joseph Tamburello (Bisacquino)
Salvatore "Big Sam" Zannino (killed 1952)
Malvaso the last member made before the books closed according to informant. Informant said there were 11 made members of the Baltimore crew as of late 1960s.

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
The Spitaleris were father and son.
The other Stassi, the one you don't have on your list, has been identified as a Genovese member.
When it comes to the Baltimore crew, the ones you already have on your list, are the ones who have been cornfirmed made members by the FBI later on.
Arthur Tortorella was later confirmed not made.
Joseph Ferrigno, wasnt he the brother of Steve, the guy who was murdered alongside Mineo?

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
The Stassi brothers get ID'd with both the Gambino and Genovese Families never seen a definitive source clear it up.
Stefano Ferrigno's brother was the Colombo member Bartolo Ferrigno. Never heard of Joseph.
-
For those still on the list:
Pietro Sorci - From Palermo, son of Francesco and Maria Levantino, brother of infamous Palermo mafioso Antonino Sorci. Might have been in Italy at this time.
David Iacovetti - Father Fred and mother Emily. Looks like they are from the mainland but can't confirm 100%. Lived or spent time in Queens, New Jersey, Altoona PA, Virginia, Baltimore, and Connecticut at different times.
Louis D'Agostino - Birth name Luigi and born in NYC, father Giuseppe and mother Rosa Gianlombardo. Not sure where they're from.
There's a Filippo Pappa born 1891 from Minturno but don't know if it's him.
Sam Turone (died ~1984) could be Salvatore Tirone (b. 1918) who died in December 1983 in Brooklyn. Another Salvatore Tirone (b. 1906) was from Racalmuto. He was a Traina crew member so probably Sicilian and Brooklyn would fit, so 1918 guy could be him.
Not sure on Vincent Sperino but looks like the Sperino name is overwhelmingly from Naples.

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
Oof, alot of stuff to go through. Thanks guys.
Might need to add these Baltimore names with asterisks.
Also, any help with photos would be valued if anyone can assist there. Cheech is doing the 80s and I dont want to inundate hi although he is more active on IG which contains alot of photos.

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
Scalise was murdered in 1957. Not sure DOB.
Very interesting find on Tamburello being from Sambuca given he had connections to Bisacquino. The Caronnas and Tamburellos might be related somehow -- the Antonino Tamburello who was photographed with Vito Cascio Ferro and Giuseppe Morello was from Bisacquino and his wife was a Caronna. Cascio Ferro himself lived in Sambuca for a time. Plays into what DiLeonardo said too about guys from Bisacquino being close to guys from Agrigento... they also seem to have lived in both places.

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
Just my opinion but chris, I dont think you should add a bunch of guys who have never been confirmed made. For best accuracy, you should stick to names given by the FBI or names that can be confirmed as made by someone like DiLeonardo. But this is your project so chose the way however you want to do it.
There you have it, never printed before.

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
This balmer faction is an odd one given its location. Pittsburgh, scranton and philly were regionally closer yet they fell in with the Gambinos. The Palermitan links have to be the connector.
The Gambino family, as an organization is quite impressive considering you had all these streams flowing from Palermo and Agrigento into this new world family which ended up taking in some impressive mainland elements. My mind keeps going back to Calderone's description of Gambino as "the American King."
....
HK, your opinion matters. Neither this chart nor the 1980s one would exist today were it not for you.
I just looked up the info of the names quickly as I've gotten good at it. I was going to list them as suspected. But looking at the chart, the asterisks dont jump out. Perhaps I should take the suspected members out of the main bunch and place them in a suspected members area? That way it doesnt, from a glance, make the family look bigger than we can confirm it to be.
I guess, my opinion, is that seeing all these Palermitans really changed my outlook on Baltimore which I thought was mostly Calabrese. But nope, it was a predominant Palermitan outpost which i wouldnt have noticed by just going by the 2-4 names we listed. Theres knowledge to be gained from that and if theres a way to show it without altering from the main goal of the chart...

Re: Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)
I agree the ones blindly regarded as suspected don't need to be there.
- When Carmine Lombardozzi went to Baltimore for the Patsy Corbi funeral in the 1950s he said the Gambino Family had 50 members in Baltimore, way more than there could/should be, but the FBI may have confused it and he meant simply a large number of Gambino members from all over attended or he was including associates. The other informant's estimate of 11 members in the late 1960s makes sense to me and would indicate they may have had 15-20 members at their peak in the 1950s. Doesn't mean the chart needs to include all of the possibles though.
- LaFata and Malvaso are a judgment call because it was a non-member source who ID'd them as members, but the CI was Baltimore-based and knew the lay of the land. He wouldn't have been basing it off of criminal activity as the members had very little illegal activity going on (Joe N. Gallo had to take charge of criminal operations when he visited), mainly just running businesses/stores.
- LaFata was from Carini and it seems likely he was an older member, and the informant was very specific about Malvaso being inducted before the books closed. Again a judgment call for them, but at least Caronna, the Corbi brothers, Morici, and Tamburello were confirmed by member sources.
- Also, I see Edward Corbi on the chart -- haven't come across him as a member but an FBI report from June 1966 says he died sometime before that.
