I posted this in Motorfab’s Facebook group but thought it was probably worth sharing here as well.

Context:
Caruso was Vaccaro's best man at his wedding held in Manhattan. Marriage record is dated September 1st 1923.

Ignazio Vaccaro was a cousin of Pietro A. & Salvatore Carlino and acted as Pete’s bodyguard. He was arrested for stealing horses in 1916 along with Stefano Carlino, a cousin of the more famous family and the brother of suspected member Peter Carlino (aka Rudy Constantino). He disappeared (murdered?) in February 1931.

Vaccaro himself can probably be put down as a suspected member of the family. Not sure how long he was in New York City for but it is yet another Bonanno-Colorado connection. It has been otherwise known for a while about Angelo Caruso being Joseph Colletti’s brother-in-law, who was also the cousin of Vincenzo “Black Jim” Colletti.

This photo was part of author Sam Carlino’s Mob Museum appearance. A cropped version with just Vaccaro and his bride is also included in his book:

Great post Joe, thanks again

Have the other people in the photo been identified? I read a little about Colorado but I'm not knowledgeable enough to recognize the people in the photo.

I don't believe any others have been identified at this time

Awesome. And yes, another solid link between that crew and Colorado.
