Surprised he's still alive too.

If he's still got his memory this could be a great book.

Would like to know who it was in Catania that hooked him up with the NYC mafia crowd.

Thanks for the news. His testimony was interesting. Doesn't look like it's an autobiography, but they will still be using some good sources.

Ronsisvalle podcast/youtube channel when.

But really, looking forward to this. If it's not just sensational stuff, there should be some good information he couldn't expand on in his testimony.

Yeah his first hand knowledge of the zips in the 70s-early 80s will be interesting.

Along with "The Pizza Connection" and "Last Days of the Sicilians". I'm really interested in the internal politics of the Bonanno family and the zips at that time. The Pietro Licata murder. What Catalano, Amato, Bonventre were up to in the mid-late 70s. Marangello's role if they were hanging out at his club a lot. Any other Bonanno crews involved in the heroin distribution. Stuff like that.

Do we have a detailed listing of the murders that Ronsisvalle admitted to? He does paint most of them as ones he thought of as "honor" killings, but I don't know we have a list. Was it eight in Sicily and five here in the US?
