Anyone know who the Arthur Frangello is in the frank rizzo post? Never seen that name before.

Wow this was phenomenal!

Abate’s family being from Vita and being related Onofrio Abate/Pizzolato family/Toto Minore is pretty huge.
There was an Abate family (also from Vita) in South Jersey; they had intermarried with Newark underboss Sam Monaco’s family. I had previously wondered if they were related to Onofrio but now Joe seems like a likely connection. Either ways it’s no longer a mystery as to why he wound up in NJ

It’s wild how rigid the Lucchese NJ crew was in terms of protocol. Both Abate & Pizzolato crashing out because Accetturo complemented him is especially crazy because he was already a top associate at that point. Another interesting aspect is that they don’t seem to have made anyone until the ‘70s

It makes sense that Abate and Charles Matranga would have been in contact. He was involved in the South Jersey area for a very long time. As for his BIL, who was supposed to be a front for Joe Bonanno, it would have been Jack LoPiccolo rather than Joseph LoPiccolo.

Really cool handwritten induction list at the bottom of the post

It's got a a Patty "DeLaRusso" replacing a "Sam Militari"

[johnny_scootch]

That list has been floating around for years, I was hoping it was one of the ones we haven't seen taken from Gotti's basement.
