Augie licata is killed before the galante hit

[Ridgewood 79]

There was also a Vito licata who was killed in 1972 who was a compari of my uncle Giovanni and later his two brothers who were killed in September of 1982 Joe and Andrew these licatas were uncles to Joe and Anthony liveri who had some trouble not too long ago however these licatas are not related to the late Pete licata and his son John. Those licatas Pete and John are from outside Palermo where Vito and his family are from trapani erice to be exact

Cobra yes pino or zio pinozu as I would call him was an up in coming gangster at one time he owned a pizza shop on Knickerbocker Ave and his son Joe owned a fish store right next door to my brothers cafe we were like two doors down on 274 Knickerbocker ave the same block now what happened to pino was he left his wife in Sicily with 5 kids and fled to new york with a younger woman who he ended up having two daughters with ( about the early sixty's) after this move he was looked down upon not only by the castellamaresi people but his mob friends so much so his man of honor expectations were shot down! Nevertheless he still gave that aura he was that guy outside his shop he'd sit at a table and hold court with the simps of the neighborhood behind his back people called him pinozu stronzu ( Joe the the turd) and all because of the way he left his family all fkd up back home ( which he deserved) I know that Luigi ronsevelli speaks of zio pinozu but that's another guy you gotta wonder about , don't get me wrong people would go to the back of his pizza shop and have major discussions from Lilo to Petro licata, and any of the buccelatto s he wasn't totally black balled the old man bonamo one time took a knife out on pino and missed his face by inches old man had to be held back

- haha, finally we get a real information on this guy
- thanks

I wouldn't be surprised knowing zio pinozu if they were fkn around with this ronsevelli over a couple of bottles of wine with some of my paisans castellamaresi when together seem to fk around a little more than the normal Sicilian especially at a catanese s expense

[johnny_scootch]

I'm about to get into the Anthony Arilotta book I heard really good things about it any reviews?? Let me know

It was decent, worth reading but nothing riveting that’s for sure.
