CANARSIE-FLATLANDS CREW:

[Uncle Pete]

Is/was Nick Corozzo’s Gambino crew active in Canarsie?

[Grouchy Sinatra]

All their names are Peter or Paul. Plus they're all married to girls named Marie, and they named all their daughters Marie. By the time I was done reading that I thought I was drunk.

So the history of the Luccheses points to their roots in Manhattan and the Bronx. Any idea as to how this crew started?

I don't remember the details but D'Arco goes into that crew's history in his book. I think someone else mentioned the original captain of that crew who gave it to Paul Vario.

Supposedly Turiddo Curiale was the first Capo of Brooklyn. And Vario grew the crew from there when he took over.
-
As far as the Varios go: Paulie and Sal (Babe) were def “there”! I do believe Lenny was also. And his sons Petey and Paulie Jr.
-
Vito and the other brother I don’t think were straightened out. But who really knows for sure? They may have been. Paulie was pretty generous in that department with his men..... so imagine his blood relatives?

Yes the Corozzo crew and the Vario crew covered basically the same area emerging from Brownsville & East New York to cover Canarsie, Flatlands, Bergen Beach & Mill Basin.

Mike the hammer Dellacagna and his bro were probably with Vario, or 19th hole. Not sure!

Who was Dellacagna’s brother?

[AlexfromSouth]

I think he had a made bro, dont know where I read that Maxie

[eboli]

If I remember correctly the story for Dellacagna's made brother was posted by one well-known bullshitter.
After checking the name given, the supposed brother didn't even exist.

[AlexfromSouth]

Could be eboli, didn't mean to misslead.

Maxi, you can do a write up on Christie tick. That would be cool!

[eboli]

No worries, man. maxi actually did a write-up on Furnari, although there's not a lot of info out there on the guy, especially his early years.
