Excellent discovery. Pietro Ligammari was sponsored into the Bonannos by Sciascia so it makes sense.

Members don't always report to their sponsor's crew but the Ligammaris could have been NYC-NJ members of Sciascia's crew like Giuseppe Arcuri and possibly Sal Montagna. Didn't Joe Renda also live in NYC before settling in Montreal?

Is Salvatore Caruana from the Patriarca crime family related to these Caruanas?

He was born in the US and I've never been able to confirm where his family came from but it was probably Agrigento based on the name.

This 1984 FBI report refers to the Sicilian mafia faction in Montreal being involved in drug trafficking with the Patriarca Family -- Salvatore "Mickey" Caruana was a Patriarca member involved heavily in drugs so he's one possible connection. The Sicilian mafia faction it refers to would have included the Caruana-Cuntreras. It also say the Bonanno decina worked with the Patriarcas.

The Patriarca Family had Biagio DiGiacomo and Salvatore Giglia as high-ranking members with ties to the Sicilian mafia. They were from Aragona which is 35 minutes from Siculiana. Never seen them directly connected to Mickey Caruana outside of their membership in the Patriarcas.

Renda was born in New York City on Jan. 1, 1959. He married Benedetta Castiglione ("Betty") in Montreal on Jul. 30, 1988, with matchmaker Agostino Cuntrera and wife Elena (née Veltri; has ancestry from Cosenza in Calabria) serving as official witnesses to the marriage. Before and after the marriage, Renda and his wife lived in St. Leonard, which is well known as the Italian quarter in Montreal (east end).

When I post a new thread that will contain profiles of Renda, first cousin Joseph Sciascia, and Lorenzo Lo Presti, don't shoot the messenger when I provide details of a document that run counter to some prevailing beliefs about Renda.

Like motorfab, I’d also like more of this Cuntrera’s personal details.

Stroccos,

Sorry for dismissing your previous post as frivolous by responding frivolously. I thought you were joking.

Have you ever heard of any Sudanos, Casolas, or Campisis in Cleveland who have minor criminal records? These individuals have relatives in the Toronto and Montreal areas. I don’t know whether the Sudano Construction company in Cleveland was/is owned just by one individual or whether his relatives, including in-laws, were/are also owners.

Thanks, Stroccos.

Tony Sudano (1933-2008) is the son-in-law of Raymond Casola (Raimondo, Ramunnu) (YOB and YOD: either 1916-2005 or 1915-2004). I've discovered intermarriage between Sudanos, Casolas, and Campisis in Cleveland, Toronto, and Montreal.
