Doubtful if made. He was born in 1936 and died in 1975. Has it been confirmed that he was killed?

For the Luccheses:

- Steve Rannelli in 1936
- Frank Callace in 1954
- Dominick "Dick Terry" Didato in 1933 (most likely made)
- Eugene Giannini in 1952
- Dominick "Gap" Petrelli in 1953
- Nick Paduano in 1932 (killed by police, does that count?)

OK. But I don´t think he was made. He would have been too young (in my opinion) to have been made in the 1950s and he died before the books were opened in 1976.

Just curious, how far back are we going with this question? To 1931? To 1930? To the beginning of time?

To bring Chicago back further it will be even less comprehensive, but here's a go:
Salvatore DiGiovanni (1901) MAYBE
Joseph Morici (1901) PROBABLY
Mariano Zagone (1909) YES
Rosario Dispenza (1914) YES
Anthony Puccio (1914) POSSIBLY
Anthony D'Andrea (1921) YES
Joseph La Spisa (1921) YES
Michael Laccari (1921) PROBABLY
Andrew Orlando (1921) PROBABLY
John Guardino (1921) YES
Joseph Sinacola (1921) YES
Angelo Genna (1925) YES
Salvatore Ammatuna (1925) YES
Mike Genna (1925) PROBABLY
Anthony Genna (1925) PROBABLY
Tony Lombardo (1928) YES
Joseph Esposito (1928) YES
Dominick Aiello (1928) PROBABLY
Pasquale Lolordo (1929) YES
Joseph Giunta (1929) YES
Albert Anselmi (1929) YES
John Scalise (1929) YES
Joseph Aiello (1930) YES

There are many more that are less well-known and less confirmable.

Thanks for the additions. Interesting that both Italiano and Rappa were both Consiglieri and both ended up getting whacked a short time later. Both were real sleepers.

What Rappa are we discussing? In 1912 Bonanno Boss Sebastiano Di Gaetano was indicted in a kidnapping case, one of his assailants was a Rappa.

Like JD was saying, we don't know enough about the rule in question, so I'm not sure if it was something created in NYC in the 1920s, 30s, etc. or if it was something that goes back to the beginnings of the organization in Sicily. I'm going to assume it goes back farther.

Sort of like the rule against stealing another member's wife, this rule seems to have come about due to abuse of power. I doubt the concern had as much to do with a wannabe associate killing a made member on the off chance that he could take his spot, but more to do with an existing member (especially a high-ranking one) ordering members killed so that he can replace them with people of his choosing.

This topic has turned out to be great for documenting all of the known member murders just for the sake of listing them altogether, though, so please feel free to list known member murders as far back as you can.

Nino Cottone should not be listed in the Colombo/Profaci list. He was boss of Villabate at that time he was murdered and it was connected to the struggle in Palermo at the time.
