Can we pls start a thread dedicated to this crew.
I know nothing about it.
All of my knowledge comes from books and here.
The few made guys and associates I am lifelong friends with seem to know interesting tidbits but I'm almost certain that they hold back bc they know I'm super paranoid don't want to get into trouble.

Re: Giannini asCrew dump
Listen to some of the interviews Tom LeVecchia does with that guy. Frank something. He grew up in Ridgewood around all of these guys and to let him tell it, there really wasn't a cohesive crew . It was a bunch of kids who's parents were either connected to different LCN families in NY and some in Italy. The kids were running wild , some more than others, and occasionally worked together on things but for the most part weren't really a farm team like that.

Giannini crew wasn't exclusively Bonanno as guys like Vito Guzzo were with the Colombos. They were heavily connected to the Bonannos and Amato of course though.
As for Amato's Sicilian connections, Amato had ties to Mariano Asaro and Gioacchino Calabro, likely others from Castellammare. When Asaro visited NYC he met with Amato. Another Castellammarese guy was with Asaro during the visit but it's not known who he was.
He likely had contact with Ciccio Domingo as well since his proteges Nino Mistretta and Sal Montana (not Montagna) met with Domingo in Sicily in recent years.
