52 wiseguy s in a year!

[felice]

Badalmemente s are from cinisi my mother and tano s wife grew up as children back in the old country she would visit my mom every time she would come to see her husband in prison

I meant other Badalamenti's. It's two branches, one from Carini and one from Torretta. They lived between Brooklyn and Astoria

[felice]

Felice other than I grew up with them good people obviously they were in the drug trade back in the day the Galina's are bakers by trade idk if they still are in the bakery business the troia s wee butcher's they were close to the kid Fabio as well I'm pretty sure Fabio's mother was one of the daughters godmother very old school Sicilians I remember Anthony piptonres dad as well and his brother's Anthony s dad was a really nice man the spatolas i knew the son he was pretty much shielded from his dad once he apparently tried to or went bad he was a good kid too

Anthony Pipitone's dad is also named Antonino, his brother is Vito. You're right, Salvatore Spatola (Joe's father) married with an aunt of Anthony Pipitone, he was cooperating and then changed his mind. He was arrested some years ago in Italy, he was still moving drug.

Gallinas were 6 brothers, plus many other cousins. Giuseppe's sons are a mess lol one came back to live in Sicily some years ago, he got arrested, did some months and went back to NY

Brovelli I know yes Anthony piptone also has an older brother named sal also really down to earth guy and the goofy Galina kid your talking about is Charlie hes got room temperature I.q

[Ridgewood 79]

I knew one badalmemente from Astoria he was around patsy conti

[JohnnyS]

Hey Frank, did you know of any Acquista's?

[Ridgewood 79]

Johnny s no

[felice]

yes, that's him
Anthony Pipitone's married with a Troia but I don't know her family background.
Another aunt of Pipitone married a Candela. He was born in a family where the mafia was everywhere. His father's firt cousin was one of the most important sicilian drug trafficker in the 80s, Angelo Antonino Pipitone.

How comes Pipitone endend to be with Bonannos? The Gallinas and the Pipitone answered to Francesco and John Gambino

Ridgewood: Sorry for your loss. A brother is a brother and I'm sure deep down he still had love for you in his heart..

Maybe there will be reconciliation and peace in the next life.

Now for my question: Did you have any dealings or encounters with the Bath Ave crew? The "farm teams" of that era is very fascinating. How much did you know about each other in all those young crews roaming the different boroughs? Feels like the last generation of those kinds of groups was in your heyday.

[Ridgewood 79]

Proletarian: bath ave no not criminaly anyways I did meet Fabrizio through my older brother and tom Reynolds in jail ( and it was brief) today I'm very good friends with mike yamine , robert lino, danny mongelli, were my co defendants and spero i would see at certain occasions, i waa closer to the bay pkwy boys

[Ridgewood 79]

Felice yes that's an excellent question that's one of them things that occurred post Massino them families did answer to 18 th Ave and patsy conti the bonanno thing is out of the ordinary I will say this though Anthony is probably the first made American mob guy in the u.s of that clan

[Ridgewood 79]

Yeah it just be 52 wiseguy s in a week .

[Pmac2]
