Smaller Crime Family Mobsters' Homes

[cavita]

The home of reputed Rockford LCN boss Salvatore Galluzzo at 4812 Woodridge Road. The guy was worth a few million but lived here from the late 1960s until his death in 2016.

Nothing wrong with that...why draw attention to yourself with the FBI and IRS? Many of the old timers, especially those who truly lived by a secret society, lived very modestly because they didn't want anybody to know what they were doing.

True and smart

+1. Obviously there were guys in NYC that were like this too (often the old school guys from direct Sicilian backgrounds), who kept modest homes, didn’t drive flashy cars, and dressed like normal blue-collar types. But the smaller Families in other parts of the country clearly prioritized secrecy and maintained relatively low-key lifestyles in accordance. I could totally see guys used to seeing gaudy McMansions of more recent NYC guys (replete with tacky chromed out accessories and faux-Roman statuary etc) and concluding that guys in other Families were just a bunch of brokesters and slobs, when the latter aesthetic has always been marked within the Sicilian mafia itself (Totò Riìna, Don Calò Vizzini in his overalls in his pig field, etc).

Chicago is a great example, as it was often the case that associates and wannabes were flashier than made guys, and being seen as a spaccone was not a good look (eg, Joey Lombardo banning his guys from owning Cadillacs because he had to drive a Dodge to maintain a low profile, living in the same old apartment in the Patch most of his life while running the Vegas skim and bribing a US Senator, taking away Mikey Swiatek’s big stupid gold chain for outshining his boss, etc).

1904 Auburn Street #5 was the home for many years of Rockford LCN capo Charles Vince. His apartment was at the top right. FBI files hint that Vince didn't pay rent at all and the building was owned by Albert Provenzano who told agents Vince pays what he can when he can.
