Damn, Bruno Indelicato was made in 1976 at 29 years old according to the blogspot and he's still around. Is he the oldest living active bonanno member?

Not sure if how active he is but Vincent Asaro is 88.

. Agreed. Cool to see how many heavyweights and big names attended the funeral although back then it wasn’t unusual. It’s also interesting to note what else was going on in the Gambino Family pretty much the same day. I think that’s when the Cuban Crisis stated when Chris killed all those Cubans

Is there any more info on Rudy Pippilo

The deuce is a great show and I wonder how accurate Rudy portrayal is ?

I think David Simon attempted to keep things fairly accurate to real life

When you have the body count Bilotti had people take you serious no matter what you’re wearing.

Rudy was a member of Papa Dave Amodeo's Bronx based crew, and later served under Amodeo's successor John Angelone.

Angelone died in 1979, and Rudy took over the crew until he died in 1983. His crew members included Dave Amodeo, John 'Johnny Pie' DeMatteo, Giovanni 'John' Scalise, and Giacomo 'Jack' Scalise.

Updated with a bio of Accursio Marsala (DeCavalcante)

Been interested in the Marsala brothers for a few years and came across some of the same info -- looks like he wasn't able to find any deeper confirmation of their membership but that's a great find about the Farina connection.

I really wonder if Pellegrino Mule was an early forebear of the NYC DeCavalcantes given he was a leading Manhattan mafioso from Caltabellotta and Pasquale Lolordo married a Mule from there.

Updated with a Gambino Baltimore regime meeting: https://lcnbios.blogspot.com/2023/02/19 ... mbino.html

[CornerBoy]

so there really was a Baltimore wing. i thought riccobono would've been retired or dead by then. this is "staten island joe", correct?

Why would they send Gotti who was stupid and goonish. Maybe the idea was good cop--bad cop. Gotti didn't seem to be much of a diplomat but what do i know? never met the man lol.
